            width = ($(window).width() - 20);
            height = width / 2;
            paddtingtop = 4;

        }
        else if ((screen.width > 1280) && (screen.width < 1920)) {
            width = ($(window).width() - 20);
            height = width / 1.7;
            paddtingtop = 7;

        }
        else {
            width = ($(window).width() - 20);
            height = width / 1.7;
            paddtingtop = 7;

        }
        $("#player").css('width', width);
        $("#player").css('height', height);
        $("#player").css('padding-top', paddtingtop);

    });

Have you tried adding a measuring unit to your width and height? Please provide a test case… — feeela, May 04 '12 at 09:49
You know you declared the global variable 'paddingtop', and then you're referencing 'paddtingtop', right? — Jezen Thomas, May 04 '12 at 09:51

For the width you don't need javascript to make it the window width less 20px you can just use css. Here is a quick example: http://jsfiddle.net/m5GaA/

You can find a more thorough css answer here: xHTML/CSS: How to make inner div get 100% width minus another div width

As well as the last else mentioned already, the (screen.width > 1280) in your second if is superflous, the condition is already guaranteed by the previous if.

You are missing a closing tag is this missing on your page as well? This could be the cause.

I can't see why else that won't work, but the html/css is probably the root cause of the problem, try and provide a demo if you still need to.

The jsfiddle code:

#HTML
<div id=wrapper>
  <div id=inner>
    content must be present
  </div>
</div>

#CSS
#wrapper {
    overflow:hidden;
    background-color:red;         
    padding: 0px 10px 0px 10px;
    width:100%;
    height:100%;    
}

#inner {
    float:left;
    background-color:blue;       
    width:100%;
    height:100%;
}
