Re: barcode reader integration in web application

agree with anthony..
usually barcode reader device works like a keyboard replacement for faster data entry,and scan standart barcode.
in any application,the output will be just plaintext. in notepad, in any texteditor,text field in any apps, text fileds in web form..
the hardware manufacture makes life easier for integrating those devices...this will be the same with rfid reader i think.
