form field mask

[jetclik]

How do I create a form field mask for a date field?

mm/dd/yy


The form field needs to have mm/dd/yy already populated in it, so the user just enters the numbers and it fills out the mask...


any ideas how to put together?


thanks

You can create a textbox with a value of "mm/dd/yy". Then, "onFocus();", you can clear the value and allow the user to enter in the desired value. You can also add an onLoseFocus (I forget what the actual function is) that will check to see if the value is blank. If it is blank, you can re-populate the textbox with "mm/dd/yy" again.

Does that work for you?
