Josh, Here's a mask library I wrote 5 or 6 years ago: http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/js/mask/
When I originally wrote it, I wrote it to be NS4 compatible, which is why I handled the keyboard handling the way I did. Anyway, I haven't looked at the code in a long time, but there may be some stuff you can use as it does do the exact formatting you're looking for. -Dan >-----Original Message----- >From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On >Behalf Of Josh Bush >Sent: Saturday, October 20, 2007 11:23 PM >To: jQuery (English) >Subject: [jQuery] Re: Masked Input Plugin Direction > > >Thanks for the input I like the idea of just giving a string for >formatting purpose and then overriding the default behavior with some >other kind of include to specify decimal and grouper.
