Dear Fellows,
Is it possible to define an input mask for text or numeric fields. I need to collect some data which must be on a format like xxxxx-xxxxxxx-x while each x should be a numeric character.
Please help.
Thanks in anticipation.
Use a regex as a constraint. This is untested, but probably works...
[1]{5}-[0-9]{7}-[0-9]{1}$
Be sure to use a string with appearance=numbers or bad things might happen.

Thank you so much Anokwa. It has worked. I used the following as constraint in bind nodeset:
constraint="regex(., '^[0-9]{5}-[0-9]{7}-[0-9]{1}$')"
Once again thank you for help.
Is there any mechanism to have the dashes "-" already in placed while entering data. I mean that user should not require putting them??
No. It has to be entered by the user. Alternative is to have multiple
input boxes for numbers between the dashes.

Dear Yaw,
Thank you for clarification. Can we arrange input boxes such that they
appear like BOX1 - *BOX 2 * - *BOX 3 *

Hi Anokwa and others,
I am using mask like the one youhave discussed: constraint="regex(., '^[0-9]{5}-[0-9]{7}-[0-9]{1}$')".
But the smart phone does not display hypens only numbers and a key with a dot and hypen together .- (not separately.)
Thanks in advance for your kind support.
