Greetings! Nice plugin! Is it possible to do some pattern based masks?

Like only digits, independent of count of digits.

For using with prices :
$ 69,00
$ 169,00

Now, i have to use some preformatted like :
$ ___,__

Hi Josh, ditto on the mentor thing, I would love to have someone who could whip me into shape. I feel as if it could save me years of frustration. In addition to the great blogs you mentioned, I also like Rick Strahl's web log and articles. Thanks for the jQuery mask tool, just what I was looking for.

There is no silver bullet – learning is hard work. I felt the same way you whished for a mentor. I am in my mid 30s do this junk since 1989. I wish I had a time machine and then I could travel back to my early days and be wonderful mentor for my self for that time (a self recursive mentoring). That way I could have learned much faster.

I listen to Scott Hanselman, this gives you some direction to go but does not provide the vehicle for it (i.e you have to learn yourself). I am also listening SE Radio nowadays.

For the books: (my obsession)
GoF Design Pattern Book (it is sitting in my desk for last 4 years, still a lot to go)
