Input Masks

[kafka]

Hi Guys,

I need some help creating an input mask for a date entry field. I would like the user to have the delimeters automatically pop up as they type in a date, or even have the delimeters pre-populated.

Listed below is the input which I would like to apply the input mask. I am pretty sure I can use javascript, but I don't know how to do it in javascript. What I am looking for is how to write that date javascrtipt function, and then how to call it correctly when the page loads.

<CFINPUT type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;datetoday&quot; size=&quot;12&quot; maxlength=&quot;12&quot; validate=&quot;date&quot; onError=&quot;checkdate&quot; >


I also need to get a input mask for currency. Again, listed below is the un-input mask text field.

<CFINPUT type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;fare&quot; size=&quot;12&quot; maxlength=&quot;12&quot;>

Cheers,

gumby

Instead of using Javascript to loop check the input to these form fields, why not just break up the required fields into separate ones? You would have 3 inputs for the date (month, day, year), and 2 for currency (dollars, cents).

Then you can validate each input and tie them all together before you enter them into your database.
