    Feature on another website.. woud like it on my site - which technology to use?

    Well I don't do a lot with wordpress myself but provided you either insert javascript or an iFrame into the page then it could be done. It's a straightforward look-up table based upon two variables (location + paygrade) as far as I can tell this link should provide the data needed...
