Web site size

The standard used to be 800 wide but as monitor resolutions have improved, I should imagine the standard has too. Could you not do it variable width to suit a wider audience?
 
There is no 'correct' height as you can quite easily scroll up and down.
 
Height is unimportant, as Martyn has pointed you can just scroll down! Ensure that your most important info goes in the immediately visible section, though.

The width is more important - I always used to ensure that I had a maximum of 550px wide, however these days scalable pages are more common and I would imagine that the width limit has increased to ~750 with most people having 1024x768 as a minimum resolution.
 
Standard width is 800px. Although more sites are now moving to 1024px width as people get larger/higher resolution monitors.

Page height doesn't really matter unless you don't want people to be scrolling on the page. In which case 600px height would work best with 800px width, since that would be in proportion.
 
a lot of webdesigners used to use 745-755px wide (ish) as on a 800 pixel wide monitor, the site displays well with the scroll bars. However, you need to look at the target audience, and some webstats which incude resoloutions. E.G if you were designing a site for photographers, it would be pretty safe to say 1024 wide would be absoloutley fine (if not wider). If you were designing a site for knitting patetrns for old dears, expect them to use 14' monitors and go smaller. You could also consider designing for a range of resoloutions (elastic) or varients of fixed resoloutions, with different style sheets presented to different browsers and resolotions

It usually is a javascript that detects what screen size the user has, and then serves a specific CSS file
