hi,
I'm using Visual Basic as my language with server side scripting. I have two fields, a date and phone field that I would like to put masks on? Can you tell me how I can do this or if it is possible?

Thanks,
Sharon

Hi

Is possible to set a format restriction in HTML5 using [tt]input[/tt]s of [tt]type[/tt] date and tel :

[b]<input[/b] [maroon]type[/maroon][teal]=[/teal][green][i]"date"[/i][/green][b]>[/b]
[b]<input[/b] [maroon]type[/maroon][teal]=[/teal][green][i]"tel"[/i][/green][b]>[/b]

For a mask edit like in desktop application you will need to use some JavaScript. For example the Masked Input Plugin for jQuery by Josh Bush.

Sorry, I forgot to say I'm using asp server side scripting. Can this still be done?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Irrelevant. User agents can not know what is on the server anyway, they not even know whether the data comes from a static file or a script's output.

hi,
I have attached my code as attachments so that you can see what I'm dealing with. The first file Default_ASPX.txt is my html page and the second file, Default_aspx_vb.txt is my visual basic code that uploads the data entered to a SQL database. Could you give me more instruction after you look at my code. I tried to cut out all necessary coding to make it easier to find the date field and the phone (commercial) number.

Thanks,
Sharon

As this is a server side question, you may be better posting in the ASP.Net forum (
