I am trying to have one input on my page that I would like to have a U.S. phone number mask by default. If a end user clicks a checkbox specifing they would like to enter a International phone number I want the mask to be removed.
I have tried multiple ways and have been unsuccessful thus far. In the current project I am using jQuery to hide/show a completely different input. But I don't like that option and would like a more streamlined approach.
I am using the following:
jQuery 1.4.1 (going to upgrade to 1.4.2 soon) and jQuery.MaskedInput-1.2.2
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function($) {
if ($("#InternationalOfficePhone").attr('checked') == false) {
$("#OfficePhone").mask("(999) 999-9999? x99999");
}
});
$("#InternationalOfficePhone").click(function() {
if ($("#InternationalOfficePhone").attr('checked') == true) {
//$("#OfficePhone").mask(); //doesn't work
//$("#OfficePhone").unmask(); //doesn't work
$("#OfficePhone").unmask("(999) 999-9999? x99999"); //doesn't work
} else {
$("#OfficePhone").mask("(999) 999-9999? x99999");
}
});
</script>
The code above works properly to set the default mask, but no matter what I try on the click event for the InternationalOfficePhone it doesn't remove the mask.
Any help is much appreciated.
You don't need to pass a parameter to the unmask
function!
Use it without a parameter and it works well.
$("#OfficePhone").unmask();
