ASP VB.NET Format Phone Number For Masked Input

Dragos — Mon, 04 May 2009 19:33:54 +0000

In order to be able to display phone numbers in text fields masked by Josh Bush’s jQuery Masked Input Plugin you need to provide e healthy string after reading the value from the database. This code snippet seemed to work for us quite well:

Dim regPhone As New Regex(“[^0-9]“)

If Trim(Phone).Length > 0 Then
txtPhone.Text = String.Format(“{0:(###) ###-####}”, CType(regPhone.Replace(Trim(Phone), [String].Empty), Int64))
or just simply:
txtPhone.Text =regPhone.Replace(Trim(Phone), [String].Empty))
End If

jQuery Modal Facebox With Center On Page Capabilities

Fooling around every day with Facebook, I began to like the little window that pops up waiting for confirmations or just informing sometimes. I was searching around and I discovered this nice jQuery plug-in called “facebox”. It’s native behavior is very similar to the original version but I needed more features, like masking the elements behind and center on page at browser window resize. This is the version I am currently using : WebFix Facebox Demo.

jQuery scrollIntoView In One Line of JavaScript

Dragos — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 15:16:15 +0000

Hi guys,

I was looking for a simple solution to scroll the page so the next mandatory field will become visible in case the user forgot to enter all the required data.
This very simple solution seems to work fine in FF3 and IE7:

$(‘html,body’).animate({scrollTop: $([selector]).offset().top-[offsettop]},500);

where [selector] represents your selector for the next mandatory field; for instance mine is “$(‘span:visible.pinpoint’).eq(0)”; that means the first span element that has the pinpoint class and is visible; that mean upon form submission I will check all the required fields and add the “pinpoint” class to them if they are empty.
[offsettop] is the offset you might want to apply so the element will not be positioned right at the beginning.

Give it a try and if you encounter difficulties I will post the actual page.

OK, here’s an example: scrollIntoView demo. Enjoy!
