We are building a race results website (www.speednetdirect.com) and would like to create cut-and-paste code that individual race tracks can use to "mirror" the results from our database on their own website. Each track has a unique ID number so we could imbed that in the code so it gets the results for that track only. Any ideas???

You need some kind of server side script. JavaScript will fail one in ten times. Talk to your server folks about what languages are available.

You don't need 'cut and paste' code. You need a page on your web site that displays the results for each race track. So on their web site they would have a page (handy if it is in a frame because it then looks as though the page is on their web site - when in fact it's on yours) that links to your site. The hyperlink carries the trackID so that your site only shows the results for that track. Their hyperlink would look something like:
<a href="www.speednetdirect.com/results.htm?trackID=12">See race results</a>
and your page would then only display the results for the relevant track. This is a lot easier than trying to talk lots of different people (most of whom know nothing about the technical aspects of their web site) into adding some code to their site. All they need to add is a link.
