Hi there,

I’m trying to integrate your plugin with a barcode scanner using the phone camera.

The scanner works well in that it scans and places the right value in the Ajax Search Pro form, with the following Javascript code upon scanning:

$(“input.orig”).val(sBarcode);

However, the search isn’t triggered, unless I click on the form and press enter.

Could you please advise?

Many thanks,

Samuele Pellizzari

Hi,

Sure! You can use the search javascript API to trigger the search, even to input the value you need:

ASP.api(1, "searchFor", sBarcode);

Hi Ernest,

Many thanks for your reply!

Would that trigger the ajax live search, too? That would be nice, in order not to leave the page.
Or triggering live results would require a different code?

Thanks again,

Samuele

You are welcome! Yes – this triggers the live search as well.

Hi Ernest,

Sorry, but I can’t get it to work. Probably am I missing something? Here is the complete code:
```
var barDataEl = document.getElementById('status');
for (var i = 0; i < barcodeResult.length; ++i) {
	var sBarcode = DSScanner.bin2String(barcodeResult.at(i));
	barDataEl.innerHTML = barcodeResult.at(i).type + ': ' + sBarcode;

$("input.orig").val(sBarcode).focus();

ASP.api(1, "searchFor", sBarcode);

}
```

The search ID might be incorrect, maybe dynamically fetching it could work:

ASP.api(parseInt($('input.orig').closest('.asp_w').data('id')), "searchFor", sBarcode);
