Form Field Phone Number

[Guest]

Is there a way to require a full phone number input in a form? ###-###-####

You can create 3 fields, AreaCode, Exchange, Number and make them required.

Thanks Thomas. More help: When I set up the first field (area code) I set
the form field properties "width in characters" to 3 then set validate to min
3 / max 3. Is there any way to have the curser 'jump' to the next box after
the required 3 numbers?

set the Tab Order

Sorry Rob, I don't think I was clear. The form fields 'tab' OK in order
without setting the order (leave them blank) I was wondering if I can force
the curser to jump to the next field after entering the specified number of
digits. Example: after entering "941" in the area code box the curser would
jump to the prefix box. Is there a way to do that?

I have seen that on varies site, but I have never looked into how it was being done. I would assume
that custom JavaScript is being used to move the cursor to the next field after maximum number of
characters have been entered in the prior field.

oh gotcha.
let's see if we can find a site that does it.

Hi,
make the texbox like this
Area Code<input type="text" name="code"
onchange="if(this.value.length==3)this.form.NameOfNextField.focus();">

Here's a page that explains it:
How can you automatically jump to another field once the current field has
been competed. For example, when entering a telephone number into separate
one character sized form fields? http://tech.irt.org/articles/js188/
