Input Mask Help

Hello,

How can I have a text field on a form control the data input by seperating
the characters into 4. For example: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

I ran into an issues when the data being enter does not match the input mask.

For example:
My input mask is 0000-0000-0000 but the data being enter is 14 characters or
4 or a combination of text and numbers.

Please help

Using 9's instead of 0's makes the placeholder optional instead of required.
You can add more optional places than you use.
