Javascript Plug-in that allows Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, or Google Chrome user to
generate QR Code from any URL link, which exists in currently viewed page. It's a bookmarklet (a bookmark containing JavaScript).
Browser Support
This script is supported in all major browsers.
Here is simple example how to use it:
Search for a "java mobile" - in order to find some useful mobile applications.
If you think that on the page exists download link which you'd like to have in your mobile browser, push "QRCode" bookmark
Small window opens with QR-code of the first file link found on the page. If there is more such links on the page, you will find direct links to the QR-code on the result window.
Now, if you can see the QR-code, you do not need to download file into PC. You do not need to painfuly type URL on the mobile phone. Use your phone 2d barcode reader (some great, free readers available on the net) for decoding the picture and go directly to your download link.
