jQuery Forum

Thanks for your effort but i'm sorry to say the fix didn't work for me.
Because i'm working on an intranet site i can't show you the actual page
but i made a similar one at http://icreate.be/jquery/test.php. I'm using
the jqModal, tooltip and of course the masked input plugin.
I hope this can give you some insight.

Josh, one suggestion.
When you take a look at the demo provided by David, you see that when
you click the button, you'll see the current date. When you select the
text, and press [backspace], you'll see a blank field. Only after
entering a valid digit, you'll see the mask appear, if you press
backspace then, the mask appears as you would want it to be. When you
press ESC, after that, the entire field is empty again.
I would like to see that the mask is there, when there is nothing in
the field (e.g. respond to escape key if that is a cross browser
thing). You could do this by using your watermark plugin.
Does the masked text also submit to the backend?
HTH,
Gilles

Josh,
I think there is a problem even on your project page
http://digitalbush.com/projects/masked-input-plugin
I tried a date and a phone number, worked great until I decided to
delete ALL the numbers in the phone number. The "(" disappeared and
then I couldn't enter any more characters. Same for the date.
It looks very good though, hopefully you'll work it out quickly!

This is something I've not been able to get around. Earlier I had
some posts about how to hook into .val() and .value. I could
do .val(), but it would apply globally.
As a side effect to how I'm applying masks, you'll need to
call .blur() or .focus() after you've programmatically inserted a
value. Something like this:
$("#textbox").maskedinput("99/99/9999").val("12/31/2007").focus();
should work. The entire value is checked on blur,focus, and paste(in
FF and IE).

What browser and version are you in. On FF2 I was able to highlight
the entire text and hit delete and also highlight the entire text and
hit backspace without any issue.
I was able go from the end of the string to the beginning with
backspace and once you backspace over the "(" in the phone number, the
mask disappears. However, it does come back as soon as you start
typing. I'll do some more testing in IE,Opera, and Safari later to
see what else is going on. The mask shouldn't disappear here, but the
functionality looks to still remain.

Thank you for the solution and for all the work on the great plugin.

Hi Josh
IE 6 Windows
At load time IE throws an error: line 107 style is null or not an object.
I can confirn on the number entery that dleeting from the end with
multiple backspaces deletes the "(" and then prevents any number to
appear when typing them.
Fred

That error is from a lightbox plugin I'm using for wordpress. I'm
still trying to hunt that one down.
I'll need to dig up IE6 somewhere to see if I can reproduce this
error.

<div>Does the bug on Opera has been fixed?</div>
<div>That one when you try to clean some input that has value and it doesn't get cleaned.

Yes, it should be fixed now.
