[jQuery] Introduction and Masked Input Plugin
Very slick plugin, I will for sure use this on my next application. An
enhancement might be to provide a elegant way of handling non fixed length
numbers, such as currency inputs. So I guess its not so much masking, but
pattern matching.
$("#amount").maskedinput("999,999.99");
Nice job!
