Invoke QR reader on mobile to scan a membership card and input result into web page form field

[Colin Simpson]

Is there a simple way to invoke the Zxing installed on my Galaxy S3 (preferably other Android phones too) to read the (unique) QR code printed on a membership card and enter the "result" into the input field shown on this (very) simple demo form .... please?

Since starting this post, I came across the Tec-it alternative barcode-scanning soft keyboard. Great gadget ... but I'd prefer to have a simple "scan" button alongside the required input field .... much easier for our users (once they've installed the Zxing app).

Many thanks!

Thanks Martin .... I have just noticed your reply today (Sept 2) on re-searching Google.
I will be able to try that, even with my limited (non-existent) coding skills!.
There are so many QR apps around, mostly very accurate, by far the fastest & most accurate is NeoReader, which (I don't think) uses the ZXing "engine". 
Much appreciated!

Martin -- thank you! I have spent half a day trying to figure out how to extract the code from the returned URL and send it to a form. I'm not advanced enough to understand how to do it on my own.

Since time has elapsed, is there a different/more efficient way to achieve this? I'm specifically concerned about doing this while temporarily offline. Also, it seems the cookie persists, so if you later scan a code and discard it, the form gets populated with an old number. Lastly, would it be possible to bypass the "confirm" page and just send the info directly back to the form (i.e. they could just rescan if the code was incorrect)?

I understand this is a really old thread, but I would be deeply grateful if you can provide any advice.
