I think this is a great extension for jQuery that I will use on all of my projects. My only complaint is handling currency…

.mask(“$?999,999,999,999″)

When you input 80000 the result is $800,00

Same issue with percentages…

.mask(“%?999.99″)

When you input 80.00 the result is 800.0

Other than that, this plugin is really amazing. Thanks for all of the work you put into it!

Just like “COME ON” said in his comment on May 15th, 2009; a decent currency support would be extremely appreciated! Anyone capable of adding the plugins functionality with right padding and dot for decimal trigger?

The currency formatter supplied earlier (http://inovaideia.com.br/maskInputMoney/) is really poor. I really like this input mask plugin, I’ve been using it for years now. But currency support is indeed a big desire!

In version 1.1.2, I required a method of considering upper and lower case letters like @David (Comment on Feb. 3, 2008). I achieved it using the following steps:

1. Change $.mask.definitions (default definitions) to:

‘a’: “[a-z]“,
‘A’: “[A-Z]”

(currently line 15)

2. Add setting for supporting transformation:

settings = $.extend({ placeholder: “_”, transform: true, completed: null }, settings);

(currently line 61)

3. Transform keypress character based on settings:

if (settings.transform) {
if (tests[p] == ‘/[A-Z]/’) c = c.toUpperCase();
if (tests[p] == ‘/[a-z]/’) c = c.toLowerCase();
}

(currently after line 162: var c = String.fromCharCode(k);)

Josh, not sure if this is the right way, but any comments would be helpful.

What happened to currency support?

You need to shift from right, and have a flag either to pad from decimal (always expect decimal) or wait for . to trigger to decimal.

Come on, seriously – add support for right padding and that should be enough (and literals in the format, and a ‘.’ trigger flag)

Does this work in Netscape? – Somehow it erases the previous character in netscape. Works like a charm in other browsers.

Also, how do i get the unmasked value for simple validations if i need?

Thanks a million
