Barcode scanner work in browser
- by JP Hellemons
I have a Manhattan Barcode scanner Contact CCD Handheld 80mm scan width, USB. I have connected it to Windows 7 x64.
I managed to get it to scan several barcodes by configuring it to USB Mode.
If I open up Notepad it scans and displays the barcodes correctly.
But when I set the cursor in a textbox in my browser (IE9 beta, Firefox 3.6 or Chrome 8.0 beta), it scans correctly but opens the download dialog afterwards.
This gets triggered by CTRL+J normally....
What did I do wrong? I tried several barcodes (Code128 and several others) and tried different browsers and Notepad. it works in Notepad but doesn't in the browsers...
