Good morning, people.
I was wondering, can Zope interface to barcodes, magnetic cards (e.g. credit cards) and other common shop-"accessories"?
Well, I have used Zope with a Barcode scanner. Since the scanner (as do most) work via the keyboard, AS a keyboard, there is really nothing special to do. We did include some JavaScript to make the focus change when ENTER is hit, since the scanner sends that at then end of a scan. <input type="text" name="name" onKeyUp="if (event.which == 13) { document.forms[0].NextField.focus(); }">
Feedback is greatly appretiated :)
From what I can find (working for a company that sells barcode and mag stripe scanners) you should have little trouble finding either that will interface as a keyboard.
Have a better one, Curtis Maloney <dtml-var standard_work_disclaimer>
