I want to have a user's input auto fill the punctuation of a phone number to look like this (xxx) xxx-xxxx. I have written an example jfiddle here but it breaks when filling in the last 4 digits of the phone number.
$("#phone").on("change keyup paste", function () {
var output;
var input = $("#phone").val();
input = input.replace(/[^0-9]/g, '');
var area = input.substr(0, 3);
var pre = input.substr(3, 4);
var tel = input.substr(6, 4);
if (area.length < 3) {
output = "(" + area;
} else if (area.length == 3 && pre.length < 3) {
output = "(" + area + ")" + " " + pre;
} else if (area.length == 3 && pre.length == 3) {
output = "(" + area + ")" + " " + pre + "-" + tel;
}
$("#phone").val(output);
});
HTMl:
<input id='phone'></input>
I realize this post is older but i found it quite useful and made some minor modifications to enhance it for all telephone fields and to allow for deleting characters if the user makes a mistake.
$("input[type='tel']").each(function(){
$(this).on("change keyup paste", function (e) {
var output,
$this = $(this),
input = $this.val();
if(e.keyCode != 8) {
input = input.replace(/[^0-9]/g, '');
var area = input.substr(0, 3);
var pre = input.substr(3, 3);
var tel = input.substr(6, 4);
if (area.length < 3) {
output = "(" + area;
} else if (area.length == 3 && pre.length < 3) {
output = "(" + area + ")" + " " + pre;
} else if (area.length == 3 && pre.length == 3) {
output = "(" + area + ")" + " " + pre + "-" + tel;
}
$this.val(output);
}
});
});
<input type="tel" placeholder="(XXX) XXX-XXXX" />
