Is there a program that allows me build an app that display information from a database, & allow websites to display by copy/paste the code?

Question

So for example wufoo.com you can build a custom form for your website, and copy paste the code onto your website code, and you have the form right there embedded on the website.

I have a database, that display airfare prices between two cities in Alaska, and I update daily. A couple people wanted to post this on their website.

My idea is they can just copy and paste a code onto their website, and on the website the prices are displayed. Along with the full size display, a small banner size one that would go to the left or right of the website main content.

Is there a service that can help me with this?

This would be helpful so when I update the database, the information is updated on the websites that have copy/pasted the code to show the prices.

Well..they could put the info from your site in an iframe, but to only show part of - or a single DIV on page in another domain could take a lot of trial and error. I'd recommend you use an RSS feed. You would need an RSS editor to post the info (there are free ones out there) and they would only need to embed one of several (free) RSS feed reader widgets available.

The simplest solution is for you to make the presentation the size the other sites want and get them to open it in an iframe.

A more advanced solution is to build an API but that requires programming skills on your end and is more complex for non programmers to use.
