Hi James,

Sounds like he has already quoted $1M+ to the client and wants some kind of super hard, active-x or client-side java class solution to justify the cost.

It really is very simple with JavaScript. Even if you can't program the preamble, you can just regex (pattern match) the barcode input to detect it and submit/process.

No need for complexification. Which is one of the worst habits of developers.

Sure. If it's about what you see as the limitations of Javascript maybe let us know what you see those as being? We've put a fair bit of effort into making our app respond (form submission, page updates, form reset, even audible feedback) with no further action from the operator besides the scan taking place.

Happy to share what we've learned through that process.

- James

Thanks James,
Again, I am well aware it is no different from a keyboard.
Noone's really reading the primary gotcha of my post so I'll just close this one now.
Cheers people
Aaron
