A lot of people seem to need dynamic width number masking. Where
currency symbols, decimal separators, and thousands separators are
applied automatically. I'm thinking about taking this on, but I have
a few questions.
1.Should is be a part of the masked input plugin or a separate new
plugin?
I could imagine expressions specifiying the possible amount of
characters, similar to regex. Or the number format as used by java,
where you specify something like "#,###.00", and the seperators are
replaced according to the locale. The 0 specifices a required
placeholder, while the "#,###" can repeast (or something like that:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/DecimalFormat.html).
{decimalSeparator:",",thousandsSeparator:"."} This seems clunky to
me. Is there any good way to read internationalization and
globalization stuff from the browser? My head is swimming with
ideas here, I just need some direction.
I'd prefer including a another file for the appropiate locale that
overwrites the defaults. For example, these date extensions define some
names: http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/methods/date.js
If the user locale is "de", I'd also include another file on the
serverside: http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/methods/date_de.js
Just a few ideas. I'm looking forward to what you come up with :-)
