Yes, they do. I know this from personal experience myself. I'm talking more along the lines of a web interface detecting the fact that something has been scanned in the first place.
Without any user action other than the scanning of a barcode. ----- Original Message ----- From: Olwen Williams To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, October 04, 2010 1:31 PM Subject: Re: [phpug] [OT] - USB Barcode Scanner to Web As far as I know most barcode scanners look like keyboards. No personal experience, but that's what I've gathered.

(Webcam would be an example) We have a central application and hardware that we want to enhance with a USB barcode scanner. A global design goal is for the application to post data to a new page as soon as a scan is performed, without user action. Javascript and hidden fields have their limitation in this respect, so I am thinking along the lines of ActiveX here. Just wanted to see if anyone here has done something similar.
