What is recommended width for wrapper blocks (main containers) on 1024x768 resolution?
There should not be horizontal scroll on that width in most available browsers.

If you Google for browser chrome dimensions, you will find a number of sites that provide this information. E.g.:

Nowadays it seems easy to answer questions on SO. Just past a good keyword and the first 3 pages from Google ;) But they are quite good resources!

True - the real knowledge is in knowing the keywords to use :)

900px is the ideal one. Hopefully it should come up with scroll bar on opera 9 (It doesn't come up with scroll bar for other major browsers).
@Will: That is really funny, but as a programmer, I have to ask: SO allows you to flag your own post for moderation why? :)

@Red one less if/else statement in the code? Actually, it does have some valid reasons, such as when a low-rep user wants to delete their own question/answer. However, newb here didn't give (any understandable) valid reason for it.

The max available width depends on the browser AND the OS. A width of 968px should fit in all system, but a width of 960px has become almost standard for many pages. There is also a page about 960px grid layouts you can find here: http://960.gs/

+1: most of the grid layouts should have taken this into account, so that is another source for good information.
