because they created a value for (addressX_input - addressX_output). You can get the balance of specific addresses via client but the way its calculated for everyone is through the blockchain

Ok, but their must be a way to grab the balance by querying blockchain.info ?

By the way thanks for your info, it's really appreciated !

Have you looked through the blockchain API?

Yes, I think the solution may be:
http://blockchain.info/address/$bitcoin_address?format=json

Which will return this:

{
   "hash160":"660d4ef3a743e3e696ad990364e555c271ad504b",
   "address":"1AJbsFZ64EpEfS5UAjAfcUG8pH8Jn3rn1F",
   "n_tx":17,
   "n_unredeemed":2,
   "total_received":1031350000,
   "total_sent":931250000,
   "final_balance":100100000,
   "txs":[--Array of Transactions--]
}

And then, I isolate the "final_balance" value

Not too sure how to implement it on a website tho, but I think it might be the way to go...

JSON is javascript. If you know javascript, all you have to do is read the API documentation from blockchain.info and write the code. If you don't know javascript you must learn it :)
