I successfully integrated a barcode scanner using javascript and jquery. However, when the scanner reads a code, it automatically focuses on an input text field, causing the keyboard to appear. How can I prevent the keyboard from appearing while still maintaining focus on the input box? I have attempted using blur, preventDefault in jquery, as well as applying properties like disable and readonly with CSS, but none of these solutions have been effective. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for a jquery plugin that could help, please let me know. I am working within PHP's Laravel framework and my barcode scanner specifically scans code128.
