Well, the whole idea of masking the input is to validate it. If you
want your user to be able to input 9_ and 09 and _9 and have them all
be valid, then you probably should use server side validation, or
maybe the validation plug-in.
Really, though, what you want to be accepted in the field isn't
validation, it's lack of validation. Why not just put a 2-character
field and let them fill it in how they please and check to see if it
is a number between 1 and 12?
