I asked for the custom masks based on a website I'm doing where the customers will have to input their prescription numbers. The numbers are alien to the customer (just like for you) and are prone to errors.
The custom masks add lots of flexibility to the plugin: For example, prescriptions go up (or down) by quarter increments, so you could add 3 placeholders: '~','[+-]' '@','[0257]' and '^','[05]'. Then the mask would be: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' This would force the customer to start with a + or -, and put in 4 digits in increments of .25, such as +04.75 or -01.50. They could still make a few mistakes, like putting in +04.20 or -01.55, but you can use Josh's optional "completed:" parameter to check for those errors: if (entry * 100 % 25 == 0) success; else failure; I use this plugin along with Remy Sharp's labelOver: http://remysharp.com/2007/03/19/a-few-more-jquery-plugins-crop-labelover-and-pluck/ to make a really lightweight but responsive form. Thanks for making it official Josh, nice work.
