Code does not work.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I added the following code on my screen. But when I scan a barcode nothing 
happens.   
<script type="text/javascript" src='<% =ResolveUrl
("~/javascript/jquery.js") %>'> </script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src='<% =ResolveUrl
("~/javascript/barcodelistener.js") %>'></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> 
    $(document).ready(function() { 
        char0 = new Array("§", "32"); 
        char1 = new Array("˜", "732"); 
        characters = new Array(char0, char1); 
        $(document).BarcodeListener(characters, function(code) { 
            // YOUR FUNCTION HERE 
            // for example:
            debugger 
            alert(code); 
        }); 
    }); 
</script>

Please can you clarify the following points
I tried this on a test page. 
A textbox appears, On scanning the first time the focus is set to the textbox.
An only on scanning the second time does the string gets copied to the textbox.
Is this supposed to work this way ?
Is there a way we can get the barcode data without showing the textbox ?

regards

I've been able to take this code and add it to my existing site without any
modifications.  I would recommend setting the default focus on your page using
something like this jQuery script: 

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#textbox").focus();
});
</script>

Without seeing your code it's difficult to determine where your problem lies, 
exactly.
