I have to produce a solution that will scan 2d barcodes and authenticate the results against a database. Whilst I can see this is not in its self hard to do I am having a mental block as to how to do this in a kiosk type environment ie unattended.
- The onDataChange event requires you to tab or click once the item has been entered - with limited access and lots of scans thats going to be hard
I cant find a plugin that handles this - what is needed is a listener and I certainly dont have time/knowledge to produce one
I am not sure that running some sort of loop/listener is a great idea, does this suck up memory ?
In the loop/listner context what would happen if the scanner was half way through loading the string into the field when the loop triggered - an error I guess
As we have potentially 10k people about to need to use it to gain access to a FREE BAR !! it would be good to have an elegant solution, so any ideas would be very much appreciated
Cheers
