im writing a php pos system for my store, and im dealing with the barcode system now.
basically i want to be able to monitor the window, and when the barcode comes in put it in the input search box and submit it.
the 2nd part is the easy part, im having difficulty with the first part.
i made the scanner append te pipeline charecter (|) to the barcode, and i have jquery monitoring the window for any key presses that are pipeline, but how would i read the key presses after the pipeline once its triggered? maybe i have the wrong approach to this..?
