Re: How to implement mm/dd/yyyy format for textbox?

Well it is possible but it involves some scripting. My approach is to
create a div element that contains several absolute positioned
textboxes and spans. In HTML it looks like this;

<div style="position:relative;
width:200px;height:24px;background-color:white; border:solid blue 1px">
<input type="text"
style="position:absolute;left:2px;top:2px;height:2 0px;width:28px;border:solid
black 0px" maxLength="2"/>
<span
style="position:absolute;left:24px;top:2px;width:3 px;height:20px"

/</span
input type="text"

style="position:absolute;left:30px;top:2px;height: 20px;width:28px;border:solid
black 0px" maxLength="2"/>
</div>

This will give you the desired effect of a masked input. You can use a
pattern as an input parameter and parse it with regular expressions to
create your masked input. Use the onkeypress event on the textboxes to
validate the typed characters.

Thank you for your reply. This looks like a great idea. But how do
you think if it is possible not using the DIV tag? If you build a .net
web server control, you might not be able to use <DIV>, right? Any more
thought on this?
