Bar code scanners on a web application ?

Can i have a web application to interact with a bar code scanner attached to
the clients pc ? Would i have to download some form of active-x component to
do so ? or would the scanner just be like a keyboard and would work
seamlessly ? Its basically for the user to scan an item and fill in the code
into a column within a datagrid.. can this be done ?

If its a seamless process it would work on a Thin Client itself ? If i have
to download something onto the client , how does that work on a thin client
? Anyone worked on such solutions before ?

You don't need any software, i use this solution in my institute (a
really large bio medical center) with my asp.net applications. What
you need is a good barcode scanner (like the Denso ones) which will
plug itself between the ps2 port and the keyboard. The computer won't
be able to notice if the input comes from a keyboard or from a barcode
scanner. Really powerful and neat to use.
Hope it helps.

I will be starting to work on an e-commerce web site pretty soon, and one thing the user would like to do is to have a part of the site that he could use in the store for recording the transaction. To accommodate this, our (myself and the other programmer) thought was to use a bar code scanner to get the product info into the system to cut down on errors and save time. However, I'm not sure if this is doable. Is it possible with PHP to...

Dear all: I need your advice on this matter. I am working on a program which takes some pieces of System-C code in and generate some other System-C code. (System-C code is just C++ with some special libraries, hence you can consider it as C++). Right now, the generator program is written in C++. And I feel not so comfortable with C++. I feel C++ is an overkill. Because, I need to generate some code, hence in the program there are a...

I am developing an application that will need to take scanned images, name them, sort them, place them in specific folders, etc as they're scanned. Does anyone know what I need to do in C# to access and work with a TWAIN compliant scanner, or how I can find this information? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Robert

Hi everyone, Thanks in advance for reading this. I'm not a novice, but I'm not a PHP pro, either, nor a programming expert of any kind, so I'm kind of trying to find a solution that works for a job that I'm working on. I have this client that wants to be able to control their web and retail inventory from one place (I mean, it's the same inventory).
