Hi,

I am coding in C# ASP, on client side, I am looking for sample code on how
to setup an edit mask on my phone and SSN fields.

Thanks

Jean

Jean,
I haven't seen edit masks for Web Pages.. usually edit masks are used in
Windows based applications.
In web based applications we use normal Text fields and then validate them
on client-side if necessay. This is due to the fact that even though you are
using a rich programming language on the server side i.e. C# .. on the
client-side ultimately plain HTML content is delivered.
And I know of no HTML tag that supports input masks.

Although there might be a way using JavaScripts/DHTML, you can add your
masks... In C# you could use the same JavaScript rendered to the page to
create a mask for your field.

If you have some example of this live online (any language) .. let me know
...

Regards,
Sanddy

Sanddy is right. You could do it via javascript , one of it's strenghts is
form validation. There should be enough js mask examples in the net.

If all of your website users are using IE 4.0+ you can just reference the
intrinsic VB mask edit object as follows in place of the standard HTML input
text box.

DATE:
<OBJECT VIEWASTEXT id="answer"
classid="clsid:C932BA85-4374-101B-A56C-00AA003668DC"
style="height:25"><PARAM NAME="Mask" VALUE="##-##-####">
<PARAM NAME="PromptChar" VALUE="#">
</OBJECT>

SSN:
<OBJECT VIEWASTEXT id="answer"
classid="clsid:C932BA85-4374-101B-A56C-00AA003668DC"
style="height:25"><PARAM NAME="Mask" VALUE="###-##-####">
<PARAM NAME="PromptChar" VALUE="#">
</OBJECT>

As mentioned, this works only in IE 4.0+ browsers.
