Form Auto Submit

[eluser]codemonkey[/eluser]
Anyone have experience with this? I am looking to automate the forum submission when using a bar code scanner and the form helper.

I think having a param check for a certain length within a form field would be the best way to implement.

Ideas on the setup and what to base the submission on? What would I use to make the auto submission work? I think JS will be needed.

Thanks

I'd say jQuery for simplicity. Then put an event listener to the inputs keyUp event and check the length of your input's variable. If it's in a certain range, call $('#my_form').submit();

Javascript is the only way you'll get it to go automatically. Server side code won't help. Stefan's advice is how I would do it.
