Question

I can provide the code for this, but I don’t think it is required.

I have a State/Country dropdown in a contact form. When a state/country is selected, I have a phone field. When a US number is selected I have a script to format the number in like a standard US number. However if you select a non US country after you have entered it deletes the entry you typed in the phone field, as it changes the formatting.

Is there a way to possibly write a JQuery script to save the number in a variable and write the number back after you change the Country/State field?

The plugin I’m using to format the number is http://digitalbush.com/projects/masked-input-plugin/

Answer 1

var origPhone = $('input#phone').val();

..do reset of form..

$('input#phone').val(origPhone);

This assumes your phone input has the following html:

<input id="phone" /> 

Can really be whatever you want, just as long as you select it with jQuery.
