It is possible to start the scanner from a HTML page in Chrome browser, and get the result back in the same page/tab.

Warning: the callbackhash syntax is different from the iOS version.

  function startscan() {
    barcodefieldresult.value ="";
    window.location = "mochabarcode://CALLBACKHASH/?"+window.location;
  }
  function load_from_url_callback() {
  var str1= window.location.hash.substring(1);
    if (str1) {
      var str2 = barcodefieldresult.value
      var n = str1.localeCompare(str2);
      if (n != 0)  {
         // new barcode value is ready to be processed
         var y = str1.split("?MTIMEX");
         barcodefieldresult.value = y[0];
