This script uses Prototype library - unobtrusive JavaScript to implement "input masks". The maximum field length is automatically limited to the length of the mask. The characters that are entered into the fields are constrained, and separators are automatically added. (No actual validation is done. Check our site for validation scripts.)

Label: text input, masker, mask, implement, character, validation, input mask
