I am using jQuery masked input plugin. However when I set the mask, any existing value in the input field is being destroyed. Doing the following:
$(".priceSKUID").mask("**-***-******", { placeholder: " " });
There must be a way to deal with existing values which are programmatically placed into the input field.
When you set a mask like 9999, the value of the input has to be 9999. But, if we have a mask with some optional characters like 9?999, it means that if the value have just one character, it will be displayed. In other words, the last three characters are opitional. I just tried it and works fine.
$('#my').mask('99.99').val('25.00') is not working
It should have trigger('input')
$('#my').mask('99.99').val('25.00').trigger('input')
You can set it vía javascript after calling
<input id='my' />
...
$('#my').mask('99.99').val('25.00')
You must honor the mask format by setting the value this way. Its not that simple but is the only way i found to achieve this goal.
