Answer 1

when the data is read using the barcode reader u need to capture the event in ur app.Its going to be the "Carriage Return" Event. Atleast thats what occurs in our app.
on the capture of that event ..u submit ur form....
if u have the txtbox where u enter the data using thebarcode reader...then..
<input type="text"  size="14" name="test" onkeydown="return validateEnterKey()">your javascript function...
function validateEnterKey() {
     var keyChar
     var status = false;
     if (document.all) {
        keyChar = event.keyCode
     if (keyChar == 13) {
      document. formname.submit();
}
