How to avoid focus on nothing

Hi all, I have one card with one input field and two buttons and my goal is not letting the user to focus "on nothing" by clicking on the card.
Just to make myself clear the UX expects the focus to be always on the input field (waiting for a barcode to be scanned) until the user clicks on one of the two buttons to go to another card.
Ideas/suggestions are veeeery muuuuch welcomed
Thanks

Hi Simon,
why not put a little "mouseup" handler in the card script,
which always puts the focus to your namely field?
Code: Select all
on mouseup
focus on fld "your field here..."
ebnd mouseup

Klauss, this is a perfect example of the secular KISS (keep it simple stupid) philosophy developed by Socrates or Platon (I don't really recall whom...)
Many thanks that will work for me!
Best

Until it is "Klausimus", then there are 2 s'es, but they are separated by an imu

Nobody ever calls Klausimausi by the name "Klausimus" though. Not unless they want to be butted with the head that can knock down walls.
