how do i use input masks with data access pages

[Guest]

i have made a data access page for distribution throughout our LAN. we are
going to run it on our employees desktops and allow them to enter sales leads
as they come through on the phone. i've figured out solutions for pretty much
everything except for the phone number. i would like them to be able to just
enter numbers and have it display/autoformat according to an input mask. i
have tried to make it do this and have not found anyway to do it. please
whatever help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

It might be possible to write a javascript function to handle your phone
number display. As a bonus, it would run completely on the client side.
I've never used Data Access Pages so this is just a shot in the dark.
