New atributes in Firefox

[irida]

Hello!
Can you help me? I'm trying to add a new attribute (mask) to the input tag, but Firefox don't understand variable this.mask (while IE understanding it). As far, as I understood, this happens because "mask" - is not standard atribute of the input tag. Am I right?
And is there a way to pass this atribute to javascript, without writing it directly in the call of the function (I mean checkMas('$$$-$$$'))
Thanks a lot!

Use:

el.setAttribute('mask', '$$$-$$$');

Hope this helps,
Dan

Oh - to answer your second question, you would use "this.mask".

oelem.getAttribute("mask")" - thanks a lot, but what is "oelem" :-[

<CODE>
el.setAttribute('mask', '$$$-$$$');
</CODE>
Thanks, but I need to mask directly in tag and pass it to script, because I need 1 script to work with different masks

I need to mask directly in tag

Perhaps you can explain that a bit clearer? I really don't understand what you mean.

Oh yes, surely. I'm sorry
I'd like to say, that I need to SET mask directly in tag. It means, I use the same javascript for different patterns, and I need somehow to tell the script, how to validate input text. Sorry, if it isn't clear enough yet

 

[BillyRayPreachersSon]

Well - you can do this, but it won't validate:

<input type="text" mask="$$$-$$$" onchange="doSomeValidation(this.mask, this.value);" />

Note: I've not tried the above - I'm only assuming that it will work.

It works in IE, but not in Firefox, Firefox doesn't understand what is "this.mask

How about showing your code so we can see what you have? Copy and paste it in, don't retype it. That way we see what the browser is dealing with and can test it ourselves.

Risk to repeat myself.
[tt] onchange="yourfunction(this.getAttribute('mask'),this.value)"[/tt]

2tsuji: Thanks a lot! It's really working. Sorry, hadn't understood for the first time!
