jQuery Input Mask Not Working

Andrew picture Andrew · Jul 10, 2013 · Viewed 28.9k times · Source

I am trying to set up a donations page for people to give money to a non-profit and allow them to specify the uses of the money. I have it set up that it totals the amounts the giver puts in each field as they enter amounts. I am trying to add an input mask in each field, but it is just making my JavaScript crash and not do anything. Here is the code I currently have that works perfectly before any masks:

<script src="/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready( function() {
        var calcTot = function() {
            var sum = 0;
            $('.toTotal').each( function(){
                sum += Number( $(this).val() );
                });
            $('#giveTotal').val( '$' + sum.toFixed(2) );
        }

        calcTot();

        $('.toTotal').change( function(){
            calcTot();
            });
        });
</script>

'toTotal' is the class name given to all the input boxes that need to be added up; that is also the class that needs a mask. 'giveTotal' is the id of the total field.

I have tried several variations I have found on StackOverflow and other sites.

Full Code:

<html>
<head>
    <script src="/js/jquery.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready( function() {

            //This is one of the masking codes I attempted.
            $('.toTotal').mask('9.99', {reverse: true});

            //other options I have tried:
            //$('.toTotal').mask('9.99');
            //$('.toTotal').mask('0.00');
            //$('.toTotal').inputmask('9.99');
            //$('.toTotal').inputmask('mask', {'mask': '9.99'});

            var calcTot = function() {
                var sum = 0;
                $('.toTotal').each( function(){
                    sum += Number( $(this).val() );
                    });
                $('#giveTotal').val( '$' + sum.toFixed(2) );
            }
            calcTot();

            $('.toTotal').change( function(){
                calcTot();
                });

            //I have tried putting it here, too

            });
    </script>

    <title>Addition</title>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" class="toTotal"><br />
<input type="text" class="toTotal"><br />
<input type="text" class="toTotal"><br />
<input type="text" id="giveTotal">
</body>
</html>

There is no masking library script referenced in the sample code. You need to download the Digital Bush Masked Input Plugin Script and copy it into your JS folder.

Then add following script reference after 'jquery.js' line:

<script src="/js/jquery.maskedinput.min.js"></script>
