Format A Phone Number

[LWSChad]

Hello;

I use the JavaScript Here to format phone numbers.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function f_a(v_id)
{
return document.getElementById(v_id);
}
f_a('InsertRecordPhone').maxLength = 14;
f_a('InsertRecordPhone').onkeyup = function(v_e)
{
v_e = v_e || window.event;
if (v_e.keyCode >= 65 && v_e.keyCode <= 90){
this.value = this.value.substr(0, this.value.length - 1);
return false;
}else if (v_e.keyCode >= 37 && v_e.keyCode <= 40){
return true;
}
var v_value =(this.value.replace(/[^\d]/g, ''));
if (v_value.length==7) {
this.value = (v_value.substring(0,3) + "-" + v_value.substring(3,7));}
else if(v_value.length==10){
this.value = ("(" + v_value.substring(0,3) + ") " + v_value.substring(3,6) + "-" + v_value.substring(6,10));
};
}
</SCRIPT>

Does anybody know how to get a search field to behave the same way?

 

I've tried InsertRecordPhone, SearchPhone, EditRecordPhone, Search, and Value1_1(It's actual id).

 

Thanks

Hello EIQ,

 

I tried Value2_1 (my field is the second in the first section) and the script works. It works rather slowly, but it works the same on the Submission form.

Could you give the URL to your DataPage?

 

By the way, there is the article about names of variables.

I figured it out.

 

It needs to be the only DataPage on the WebPage.

 

Thanks

Hi! Just an update on this, Caspio has a new Tech Tip called: Format Phone Number in DataPages. You may visit it here: https://howto.caspio.com/tech-tips-and-articles/advanced-customizations/format-phone-number-in-datapages/

Hope it helps!

Hi All - In relation to Caspio's new feature of Worldwide SMS Notifications, if you would like your input phone number fields to be automatically formatted - you can use the International Telephone Input plugin. This JavaScript plugin is used for entering and validating international telephone numbers. It adds a flag dropdown to any input, detects the user's country, displays a relevant placeholder, and provides formatting/validation methods. To know more of the customization, you can check this link: https://github.com/jackocnr/intl-tel-input

Here's a sample result in DataPage:

After submission in table:

 Hi, you might also want to check this Forum post if you want to enforce the formatting for your phone fields but not make it a require field (allow empty values):
