 From your description, it sounds to me as though JavaScript by 
itself might not be the right choice, but instead a combination of 
JavaScript and a server-side scripting language such as PHP.

You can't give JavaScript to someone but prevent them from editing 
it.  You can go to a great deal of effort to obfuscate the script, 
but unobfuscating it is child's play and your time will be better 
spent on other aspects of your work.  A server-side script, in 
contrast, can provide results to the user while remaining completely 
inaccessible to them as script.

Using PHP, you can give someone a simple url such as 
http://example.com/clientcontent/?id=1123456890 which will resolve to 
anything you want -- an image, text, or HTML markup.  An iframe or 
XMLHttpRequest on the client's website can then incorporate that 
content into their page.  You might try googling XMLHttpRequest and 
Ajax to see JavaScript's role in such a collaboration.
