Hello all,

I'm having trouble making a hand scanner work, what I would like to do is hide a field on my first page and put the focus on that field and wait for STDIN. But if a visitor comes in make them click on the "Name field" and take the focus away, let me show you my code:

Code:
<HTML>

<HEAD>
[indent]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<TITLE>HP Security</TITLE>

</HEAD>

Is this a possible? or maybe someone can suggest a better way of doing it, I have exhausted every other method I have in my brain :)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Can you better explain what this hand scanner is and how it interfaces with a web page? I'm already confused by the use of <FONT FACE="COMIC Sans MS"> and the instances of <br /> in the <HEAD>.
 
spamjim,

Its nohing more than a STDIN device, it acts just like a HID keyboard except it appends a C/R onto the end of what it scans. I have a bar code on the visitors badge I create, so when they scan themselves out my function takes the number, searches thru an Excel spread sheet to find that number then puts a time and date stamp in the column beside it. As far as the Font Face, it was just an example I found of a way to make the title bigger, and the <br /> was just used to position thing on the page. I'm kinda new to html so I'm sure there is a better way of doing this. You know when you tell your boss that you 'know' how to script they throw something on you that I had very little experience in.

anyway, hope that helps.

any help would be appreciated.

The element you are trying to 'position' "<TITLE>HP Security</TITLE>" does not actually appear on the visible page, the <title> is what is show in the browser title bar, which is the bit at the very top, above the toolbars and menu bar.


You know when you tell your boss that you 'know' how to script they throw something on you that I had very little experience in.

Let me be more clear Chris, I have little experience in HTML... lots of experience in other languages...
 
the scanner has been configured to have a new line upon scan, at this point it will go run a function and do some things and return back taking focus on another STDIN or wait for a user to change focus with a click.

No. It doesn't work like that. When you send a web page to a client, you send the whole page - you can't send half of it, wait for some kind of input, and then send the other half (well, you can, but it's really complicated).

So what you'd need to do is send the whole page, and include some javascript code that will interact with your scanner. It's more a problem for forum216 or maybe forum1600 than it is for us here, it's also a complex problem for a beginner.

Because of the complexity of the topic and the inexperience with HTML, I would recommend that you simply use the page as it is and include a "visitor" button/link on the page. The link could offer a second page that includes the necessary fields for an unregistered user.

There are too many other hiccups on this page that will affect you before you even get to this advanced functionality you intend. Just for example...

Code:
"c:\xampp\cgi-bin\IDSSlogo.bmp"

[ul]
[li]This needs to be a HTTP served file, not a local resource on the C:\ drive.[/li]
[li]BMP is an inefficient image format. Try converting to JPG/GIF/PNG[/li]
[/ul]

You may benefit from running your page through a HTML validation service to get some ideas for improvement.
 
Actually, I resolved the problem.... but thanks for the insults... ummmm I mean help....

thanks for the insults... ummmm I mean help....

I'm assuming that is just a very lame joke. If you thought that you were insulted because you were freely given advice then you may be visiting the wrong forum.

 
Taking input on a hidden text field?? Can it be done??
short answer - no

However, you could either make it visible to allow input by changing the type attribute, though why have an input of [type=hidden], if you don't want it hidden?

Did you mean not visible or [type=hidden] you can't have an input of both [type=text] and [type=hidden]

If it's [type=hidden] you could show another input, take the value and update the hidden input's value.

Either way a user cannot interact with a control they cannot see. (excluding making things the same colour as the background!)
