You know what? Really the most useful JS stuff for SQL is for when you're using it as a POS on a retail setting. Here's how I modified it. I added keyboard focus to the most logical places. On the first screen, it is the customer search input box. On the invoice screen, it is the code-number on the new invoice line. This last lets you enter in the code and press enter. I also did an ALTER TABLE parts add column barcode varchar(32); in psql then then added the ncessary stuff for barcodes. Now, the cashier can just scan the barcode. The barcode reader fakes keypresses with an <enter> code at the end. So for these guys, it is a *beep* *beep* *beep*. I think some of you downloaded my (unsupported) mod to 1.6.3, you can see all of those modifications in there. Forget the menus. They're fine the way they are, especially if you build an intranet site that takes the clerk assigned to the task directly to the screen. It isn't exactly ideal, since the username/password are put into the URL, but it is marked very clearly for the POS clerk. "Click right HERE" "Oh, ok". -Qaexl- http://www.next-horizons.com/qaexl/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------- (un)subscribe: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sql-ledger-users Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
