Question

A textbox has a property of storing a string which has a type telephone number or zip code.

Where and when a user starts typing the keys should fill the textbox in a telephone/zip code format.
For example –

1st Pattern is 234-23432,

2nd Pattern is (234)24234-324.

So when user types in some keys the characters should be arranged accordingly. Does not matter if the solution uses plain JavaScript or jQquery

        var curval = $(this).val();
        if (curchr == 3) {
