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

[David Lovering]

No, this was a simple demo on an old keyboard.  The key event masks are different for the number keys above the main keyboard than they are for the number pad, but the conditionals could be easily extended to cover even them.  I could probably gen something together that would recognize the number pad, ... if only I had a keyboard WITH a number pad!
[The reason I probably don't has something to do with the fact that different manufacturers use different ROMs in their keyboards, and hence generate slightly different key events.]

I could also modify the script to use a 'watch("keyUp",...) trap instead of an event handler, which should make it generic enough to use both the regular number keys and the number pad keys.  

Is this enough of a hint, or do you want me to tweak the code a bit?

  Are you using the number pad?  I get errors there but not with the number keys.

    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?
