Most barcode scans also tend to be number oriented - there are coding
schemes
that allow letters, but the basic translation is into a number. Your
scanner
will probably be responsible for transforming the barcode into an
(alpha)numeric
string, which will be the value inserted in the web form field by the
scanner.
The event triggered should be no different that when a value is typed into
the
textbox.
