AJAX focus fix demo

Some web applications (for example SAP) update only part of the page after a scan, without reloading it completely. The next scan can then go nowhere, because the input field was replaced. The AJAX focus fix setting makes sure the next scan still lands in the correct field.

This page shows the difference: turn the setting on once and off once, and scan a few times in a row each time. With the setting on, every scan lands in the new field; with it off, the scan is lost after the update.

How to test correctly: Open this page in TheFlex on your device and scan with your scanner. You can find the setting in the scanner settings or centrally via device management (MDM). Without a scanner you can use the "Simulate scan" button to watch the flow, but the real difference only shows when scanning.
Checking the setting status ...
1. Scan into the field below. After each scan the page updates (like in SAP) and a new field appears.
2. Scan again. If the scan lands in the new field, the fix works. If the field stays empty, the setting is off.
Successful scans after a page update: 0
Ready. Please scan for the first time.
