Howdy fellow developers,
I've got a general question about just how much you can do with hardware from within a browser... I'm researching the addition of a signature capture pad to my web-based POS system, and am curious what lengths I'll have to go to in order to talk to one of these devices.
Do Java Applets have access to USB devices when running within a loaded web page, or is that off-limits due to the sandboxing inherent to the browser?
