• Fixed bug which blocked apple meta key.  This was keeping copy and paste via keyboard shortcut from working on Mac.
• Fixed bug that caused mask literals to be pushed into the mask placeholder positions when verifying the data.
• Fixed bug that prevented user input from completing when mask ended in mask literal.

Changes

• Changed behavior on focus to select all text if focusing on a completed mask.
• No more masking on readonly inputs.
• Changed escape behavior to put the input back to the original value instead of just blanking the text.
• Increased range of accepted characters for input.

There is now a new version of my Masked Input Plugin for jQuery. After a long absence with this project, I finally decided to tackle some of the more requested features that have been sent to me. I also did some big reorganization to make room for some future enhancements. With all the changes, it seemed appropriate to bump this version from the 1.1 series.

• Paste support for more browsers. It should now work in IE7, Firefox 3, Safari, Chrome, and Opera.
• Fixed backspace bug in Opera.  I had originally put in special handling for Opera to get past a bug that appears to be fixed in current releases.  This code is now removed.
• Calling .mask() with no arguments will now return the value of the input without the literals.
• Added option "allowPartial" that will allow partial input to remain when focus is lost.
• Exposed the hash table of the mask definitions directly to replace the $.mask.addPlaceholder() method.  The old method remains for now, but will be removed in a future relase.  You should now add custom mask definitions by "$.mask.definitions[char]=regex;"
• Code refactoring and  house cleaning.  I made things more jQuery like and removed some crufty code in the process.  The end result is better organization to build on for future enhancements.

I just released version 1.1.2 of my Masked Input Plugin for jQuery. Felix Geisendörfer helped me mash out a few things with this release. He fixed the bug for Mac/Firefox with the backspace key and got me to open up the caret positioning functions. Thanks Felix!

Here are the changes for this release

• Fixed a bug in Mac Firefox with backspacing.
• Fixed a bug where delete at end of mask produced an extra placeholder character.
• Exposed the caret positioning and retrieval methods as a jQuery function extension. You can now call $().caret() to get a caret position and $().caret(start [,end]) to set a caret position.

Ugh, so apparently $.each doesn't play nice with IE and strings. I accidentally introduced a bug that prevented the plugin from working in IE at all. It's now fixed and the changes are up on the site.

I just released version 1.1 of my Masked Input Plugin for jQuery. I have more features in the pipeline to add to 1.2, but I wanted to get a few fixes out the door before doing so. The only thing new this time is an unmask method.

In addition to code changes, I've made a few more enhancements. I've added a packed version for those who want the smallest possible footprint. I've also given the project page a face lift to make things easier to find.

Below is a list of changes this time:

• NEW FEATURE: unmask() method to remove masking for a previously masked input.
• Safari cursor position fix.
• Cursor position behavior change: Cursor goes to the end of the input on a completed input. Cursor goes to the first placeholder position on a blank input.
• Fixed improper escaping of certain mask characters.
• Code refactoring to reduce size and complexity.
