I need to set the first field in my form as focused so when the form loads, it is able to take data from a barcode reader. Any thoughts on the best way to do this?

Thanks!

Hi Paul,

Dario, from Gravity Wiz here. This code should do the trick:

$( '#gform_GFFORMID' ).find( 'input:visible' ).first().focus();

You can add it to your form using our free Javascript plugin: Gravity Forms Custom Javascript - Free Plugin by Gravity Wiz

We would love to hear more about how are you using the barcode reader!

Best,

Hey Dario
Thanks for the quick reply! I have put this code in the form using the gravity wiz plugin, but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything. I assume that I need to specify which field ID needs to be set as the focused field, but I don’t know how to do that.

For the barcode reading function, barcode, qr code, rfid, etc, basically anything that has an HID profile can be used to begin a function chain to make a form perform a task. The catch for automation is that you have to be able to have the barcode reader input the text string into the correct field automatically on the form.

Hi Paul,

It seems to be working for me locally without adding any specific field ID.

We would love to know more about your use case!
