Input Mask on DAP

[Guest]

How do I create an input mask for a phone number text box on a data access
page? I know how to accomplish this task in both tables and forms, but
cannot figure it out in pages.

Thanks!

As you already know by now, you cannot use the DAP Wizard to set or create
an Input Mask for a DAP page; so you will have to create your own piece of
code using using Javascript or VBScript. However, even if not impossible,
this won't be an easy task and requires a very good knowledge of both
Javascript or VBScript and DHTML.

For example of script, see
http://www.codeproject.com/jscript/Form_field_input_mask.asp or search
Google with something like « Javascript Input Mask »

Also, even with the correct piece of code, you'll still have to integrate it
inside your DAP page; which is something that won't be easy.
