texmansru47 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I have seen a couple of these questions asked before but I cannot remember if there was ever an answer: I need to incorporate a barcode scanner for my forms in data entry... I have seen a few responses that we should use javascripts... but where can I find some reference material on javascripting for barcode scanners? Primarily for incorporating a <Tab> instead of a <ENTER> when a field is scanned and/OR how to get the barcode cursor move to the next field if there is no way to set the <ENTER> function of the scanner to a <TAB>. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$username Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Well you got my attention. So so I understand the story You scan one bar code. That populates a form on a web page. From there you want it to go to the next field. The only thing I could say would be to look for java script that after to field is filled to go to next. might want to check this out too.... http://www.w3schools.com/JS/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_autonext Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lodius2000 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 yeah most standard barcodes (upc's that is) have either 12 or 7 (maybe 6, for sodas and gum) digits, couldnt you set the thing with javascript to auto tab after it has recieved that amout of digits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
