Yeah I agree with Jörn. It looks like an $().unmaskedinput() would be
nice for this case. I just tried to call $().maskedinput() to
overwrite the current mask but it doesn't do that very well. You could
just replace the input onChange of ccType. Some psuedo code
illustrate.
onChange:
if ccType == AMEX
#ccNum remove
body append <input type="text" name="ccNum">
maskedInput
I wouldn't keep several inputs in the form because that wouldn't make
much sense for when JS and or CSS is not applicable. However using JS
to enhance the usability of the form is game. Hope that helps.

In case you don't find a good soltion, just contact Josh directly. It
seems like his plugin didn't get the attention yet that it deserves,
therefore there may be quite some potential for improvements. He added
the ability to paste both unformatted and formatted values after I asked
for it.
