first off all let me tell you that i am newbie to java script(in a sense that i have not studied it at all but i want to use it in my website)

the thing i want is that
for eg i have a Product Page which tells that it is available at say A's website, B's website and C's website . Now i want the java script coding which dynamically updates the Prices on the Product Page from the three website when the Product page is opened.

^^ it sounds like web service and not simple javascript

also how is it possible to say which of the three prices (A B or C) is correct ??

i dont know whether it is webservice or javascript (lack of my knowledge)

that is a web service.

it is basically an API which you can call through a private key

Yup, nothing to do with Javascript, Purely Web Service. Try to get the API details of whatever site you want, do the backend code and pass the value to the web page and display it.

If you want to update the code periodically in web page it self, use Ajax and update the prices regularly.
