Mettler Toledo - weighing scale / web app integration

I have a mettler toledo scale that reads the weight for fedex ups applications. I want to make it write back the weight to a input box on a web application. How do i go about this? The scale i am using uses a serial port. How do i go about integrating the scale with the web application. I do not want the users to be entering the weight manually. As it defeats the purpose of reducing work for people weighing packages. In the ideal situtation, a user places weight on the scale and the ystem reads it directly on the weight field in the web app? Anyone had experience doing something similar to this?

Thanks

Get into touch with mettler or visit their site. I'm sure you can download many code examples on how to do that.

Bishop,

Even though your answer does not hit the nail on the head. I think you have pointed me in the right direction. No one else seems to more on this rather vague topic so I accept this answer as the best one so far.

Thank you
