Javascript and barcode

1 New Member
I have a form one input. If you set it up with onchange="somej avascript...."
and you type into the input field it does the javascript. If you scan a barcode
into the input box it doesn't trigger the javascript. onkeydown onkeypress or onkeyup will trigger it, but they are incorrect because they fire before the data
gets in and the javascript thinks there's no data. I tried a setTimeout where it would wait 50 usec before it fired the javascript, in the hope that that would give the data a chance to get as the value. but that didn't get it either. I also tried an input all by itself outside of form because I really don't want to submit this to server the old fashion way. my javascript is ajax actually so I get some asynchronous serverside action. I cant believe no one has a barcode reader trigger script for javascript.

You could use setInterval to call a function to check the input element at regular intervals. If it's different, fire the onchange function.

Hi, I am in the design phase of building a database that will track the productivity of my warehouse. I am thinking of using a barcode scanner to assist me with this. Employees will hopefully be scanning a barcode which will communicate to the computer that the employee did some type of task. Employees will be identified by ID badges which will contain string data to identify them and hopefully log them in. Is this a good way to keep...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
