Who cares? The input will be generated on a *webpage* - correct? So it's
an HTML/JS/Browser issue at best. Frequently those scanners mimick
simple key presses. All it needs is a bog standard input field (which is
focused). Aim the scanner on your barcode and - voilá - the input
element is filled with the code. Submit the form and you are done.
