Question

I have asp:Label phone field bindings from db. What i need to add dashes to make phone format like 999-999-9999 instead of 99999999999.
I try something like that, but it’s doesn’t work:

$(document).ready(function ()  
    num = $('#<%=HomePhone.ClientID %>').innerText;
    parts = [num.slice(0,3),num.slice(3,6),num.slice(6,10)];
    fNum = parts[0]+"-"+parts[1]+"-"+parts[2];
    num = fNum;
});

Answer 1

HTML:

<p id="textbox">99999999999</p>

Javascript:

$(function () {
    var num = $('#textbox').html();
    var parts = [num.slice(0, 3), num.slice(3, 6), num.slice(6)];
    var fNum = parts[0] + "-" +parts[1] + "-" + parts[2];
    $('#textbox').html(fNum);
});​
