Wonder why they want you to do that? Is it to adjust the size of the
font so that it is readable on higher resolution screens or is it to
change the width of the content but keep the fonts, etc. the same size?

If it is the first reason that would aid in accessibility. If it is the
second it is a dumb idea since few people with high resolutions screens
browse full screen. I know I never do voluntarily and hate when sites
maximize my window with 'onload' scripts. In addition even those who do
browse full screen like my partner don't always have the full size of
the browser available. He's always got either his history or favorites
bar open which effectively reduces the width of his 1024 monitor to the
width of an 800x600 monitor.

It can be done but takes a combination of server side and client side
scripting and frequently causes more problems than just designing a
liquid site in the first place.

I have been requested to open pages and select style sheets depending on
what the user has their screen resolution set at. I am under the
impression that this cannot be done from the client side. Am I right?
Could it be done from the server?
