Ok @Jake, you are very wrong. jQuery is Javascript. Javascript does do formatting. "Use a plugin", i.e. someone has found a solution, made one that you may be aware of, and then the solution does not exist?

Use native Javascript- filter, i.e. for a phone number:

1. $(function(){
2.   if(isPhoneNo($('.some_div'))){
3.    // true
   
4.   } else {
5.   // false (not a phone number)
   
6.   }
   
7. })
   
8. 
   
9. function isPhoneNo(phone) {
10.     var filter = /^[0-9-+]+$/;
11.     if (filter.test(phone)) {
12.         return true;
13.     } else {
14.         return false;
15.     }
16. }
