[Javascript] Javascript or ASP.Net - Input Mask for Text BoxthenAuto Tab

[David Lovering]

In the 'phone number' box you type in any legitimate phone number (8375260421), and it automaticly inserts the dashes between the fields, using a canonical phone template ###-###-####.  If you type too many digits, or a non-numeric character which doesn't match the syntax, it gooses you or throws it away if it is a redundant delimeter.  Obviously the same mechanism could be generalized to dates using slashes, providing that the regexp masks are changed accordingly.

Ditto with the toll-free field, except in this example only 800 and 888 prefixes are accepted.  Again, this was only a prototype.

Does that explain it?

  I just tested this and it alerts me every time I try to press a key. What's allowed with this script?

    A piece of cake.  I did a similar "dynamic filter" for phone numbers and toll-free numbers a while back, and I'm enclosing the code I did it with.  If you speak 'reg-ex' the masks themselves should be self-explanatory, and if not, drop me a line and we'll over it in detail.  [The thing is semi-customized for IE6+, but it wouldn't take much to make it viable under Netscape].

      Using ASP.Net, I'm trying to add an input mask to several Text Boxes which are date fields.  We want the date to appear "mm/dd/yyyy" in which the user would only enter the actual numbers and the input mask would insert the "/".  Once this is achieved the function should auto tab to the next field.  I actually have a function for the auto tab which works perfectly for ASP.Net, I am however, having a hard time figuring out how to insert the "/" into the field.  Any suggestions?
