My goal was to detect a val() call from within my masked input plugin.
So, when someone says "$("#id").maskedinput('(999) 999-9999')" , I
would love to be able to detect when that value had been set
programatically and then re-check the masking.
So, if someone does a "$("#id").val('555-867-5309')" later on, I could
reformat it properly to "(555) 867-5309".
Maybe that will shed some light on what my intentions are.
Thanks for your quick responses Dan!
