New to ASP. Is there an input mask for input boxes in ASP?

You could always make 3 short textboxes that allow the length you want and only accept numbers.

Once the page loads to the browser, ASP isn't the tool for controling the content. You need to use JavaScript.
If you want to let the user enter ANYTHING in the textbox, and then let the page go back to the server before processing (then you can use ASP). I wouldn't recommend this solution. Anytime you can move processing away from the server and onto the client is better for everyone.
The JavaScript forum will probably have a FAQ or something that can help you quickly.
Good luck. Einstein47

This is a simple page that has a form with an input box, and submit button. the form action calls the current page, formats the number (if it is a number) and displays it above the textbox if it is a 10 digit number it displays "(123)456-7890" if it is a 7 digit number it displays "123-4567"
