    Data entry masks for fields like zip code and phone number [7575]

     

    I should like to be able to set a mask on text fields in the member record so that data entered by users in those fields was correctedly formatted.

    Uses would include telephone numbers and postal/zip codes where a correct reponse follows a consistant format.

    An additional suggestion for this it to set it up not just so that the data conforms to a certain format, but also to make sure that the value entered into the field meets certain other conditions.

    For example, you may be running a site that requires people belong to a certain email domain to join, like .org or .gov. You could set up a mask field on so that not only do you verify that an email is entered, but that the email ends in either .org or .gov.
