I really don’t think you can do that inside Rails itself.
But building the JS should be simple. You basically just have an
onChange on the text input. And monitor the length of the text field.
When it reaches the length of a barcode code you make it submit.
I’ll be happy to give you an example if you are unsure on how to achieve
that.

Also,
Some barcode readers put carridge returns at the end of their
transmission
sequence. I used a barcode gun in a web application and it worked quite
well. the only thing that was annoying was cursor focus but, again,
javascript can fix it.

Hi Jorge, we’re making a fulfillment app for cheap shipment in Europe.
We’re planning to integrate barcode readers.
Maybe we can share some ideas… Our website is cebu.palmade.net .

Thank you,

Hi there guys
well our bar code guns “seem” to be the cheapeast and they dont add a
return at the end…
so it seems like the JS solution is the only thing we can do for now
so Mr. Jon Gretar B. I would like to see that example,
since I’ve been trying some things with JS, an example would be very
apreciated

Thanks in advance
