Telephone number formatting

[Ravi Wayne]

Hello,

For a input fields, there is a type property with option tel (which I assume is telephone). What does this do? Is there a easy way to format telephone numbers? Like a mask?

Thank you.

I looked at this, but do you put this code in the javascript area?

Hi Alex,

This are properties of an input component that changes appropriate attributes.

Thanks so much Illya, it doesn't work for my ipad, or my browser , so I wonder how I can help the user and prevent them from entering the wrong format.

Hi Alex,

You can use any jQuery plugin you like for these goals.

For example see here some of them http://jquery-plugins.net/tag/input-f...

Also let me know if you you will have any problem with using it.

Yurii, thanks so much for your response. I will look and study these things. I am close to learning this coding part. Thank you.

how do I load a plug in?

Alex,

Here is a brief plan for this goal:

1 Download jQuery plugin. Copy JS code text.

2 Create new JS asset in Appery.io application.

3 Paste JS code from 1st step to the JS asset from 2nd step.

4 Now you can use plugin like it described in documentation for plugin.

For example:

pre

jQuery('[name="inputName"]').pluginName();

/pre

Awesome!!, does this work for other javascripts that I find on the web, like ones for printing out pdfs like from http://parall.ax/products/jspdf ?
