using html how do you mask a text box? 1

[sharonchapman7]

hi,
Sorry I forgot to put the subject on my last post. 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

You can't do it directly with HTML, as there is no masking attribute for a text element.

You can apply Javascript to the input and have it mask it, or you can try to do it from VB.

Since the question is out of then scope of this forum, I suggest you post in forum216 or forum796.

It should not be to difficult to do in JS.
