I'm having a hard time coding my layouts so that it can be aligned correctly with all computer screen widths.

For example, I code/design my layouts on a laptop and the screen is really wide. Then I go view the layout on another computer with a thinner screen width and everything is misaligned and just horrible. What can I do to fix that?

Is that really going to help? Aside from the fact that XHTML is rarely a better choice than HTML, "semantic" (X)HTML won't solve layout problems if you're using CSS. The issue is that the OP should use elastic units for CSS (em's, %'s, etc.), use absolute positioning sparingly and only "correctly", and try to lay things out in a resolution-agnostic manner.
