mask Behavior


This document describes technologies available in Internet Explorer 5. While we encourage you to evaluate these features and to send us your feedback, please note that these features are subject to change.

The mask edit behavior is applied to INPUT elements that allow data entry to provide a combination of restricted input as well as formatted output. When information is entered, visual cues are provided about the type of acceptable information, and feedback about incorrect entries. The behavior can be applied to many common types of forms fields, such as date, time, and phone number fields.

The mask.htc file can be downloaded from the mask sample page.

The most up to date documentation on the mask behavior can be found on the World Wide Web. Use Internet Explorer to navigate to the behaviors library reference.

If you have the latest MSDN-Online Web Workshop CD (formerly Sitebuilder Web Snapshot CD), map a drive to the CD and use Microsoft Windows Explorer to navigate to \workshop\author\behaviors\library\mask\mask.htm.
