I’m planning on using this plugin in my form. But I just want an better explanation of the options than what they gave you.

type: What is this? What is the fixed or number option do?
mask: does anyone have any good resources where I can learn mask notation?
stripmask: what does this mean? If it means remove mask, then why not just remove class=”iMask” from the tag?

Thanks

    Gleaned from the iMask Documentation and some tinkering:

    Type – Limits characters that can be entered into an input field

    • Number: Defaults to a decimal value (any length). Valid characters: 0123456789
    • Fixed: Limited to the characters specified in the mask option. No more, no less.

    Mask – Dictates the format an input field value must follow

    • 9: Stands for any numerical symbol. Default valid characters: 0123456789
    • A: Stands for any alphabetical character. Default valid characters: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
    • X: Stands for any numerical OR alphabetical character

    StripMask – Removes or preserves the mask syntax hint on an input field

    • True: Removes the mask from the input field when the user is done editing. Example: 09/24/12 would become 092412 when the input field loses focus.
    • False: Mask remains in input field.
