odd thing is that when I zap the barcode it automagically issues a carriage return which blanks out the fields and reloads the page
Some barcode scanners can be reprogrammed...
Reprogramming might be a solution if you know the scanner wouldn't be used in circulation. It would be a big disadvantage to people issuing and returning books if they had to hit enter every time. NPL handled this situation by designing the member entry screen (in the NPL templates) so that the barcode was the very last field on the page. That way you can let the carriage return happen when you need it. -- Owen ---- Web Developer Nelsonville Public Library http://www.athenscounty.lib.oh.us
