Class InputMask


A generic mask for input controls, allowing custom formats.
If you want to mask numbers or dates, the specialized NumberMask and DateMask are prefered, because they have the semantics for these types, allowing additional features.

Example
//Assume there are 3 inputs on the document
new InputMask(JST_MASK_NUMBERS, "numbers");
new InputMask(JST_MASK_LOWER, "lower");
var mask = new InputMask("##-####", "custom");
mask.blurFunction = function () {
    alert(this.value); //The callback is set to the input control, so 'this' is the control, not the mask
}
