The $AddMaskDefinition really adds a lot of flexibility to the
plugin. It allows you to do a lot of user form validation character
by character. For example, if I wanted to have an input that only
accepted a signed integers with decimal quarters (like +4.75 or
-1.50, for the sphere reading in eyeglass prescriptions), I could
declare 3 different AddMasks:
$.AddMaskDefinition('~','[+-]');
$.AddMaskDefinition('^','[05]');
$.AddMaskDefinition('@','[0257]')
then in document.ready(): $("input.sphere").maskedinput("[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
In fact, I already have quite a list of custom charMaps, so I thought
it may be more efficient to make one call and pass an array to the
$.AddMaskDefinition. I replaced your code with
$.AddMaskDefinition=function(mapArray){
while (mapArray.length > 0){
var c = mapArray.shift();
charMap[c] = mapArray.shift();
}
So I can pass declare all my charMaps at once:
$.AddMaskDefinition(['~','[+-]','^','[05]','@','[0257]']);
Whaddya think?
