AFAIK, what you want (if I understand it) can't be done.

I think you want each succcessive position to be highlighted for
replacement.

If not, please clarify your requirements.

Here's is some code I started with:

<html>
<head>
<title>mmddyyyy.htm</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
var what = "mm/dd/yyyy";
function mdy(that) {
if (what != that.value) {
alert(that.value);
}
what = that.value;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="get">
<input type="text" size="10" maxlength="10"
name="mmddyyyy" value="mm/dd/yyyy" onkeyup="mdy(this)">
</form>
</body>
</html>

As an alternative, popup calendars are often used to select dates.

Thank you for your reply.

Actually please check this web server control's demo:

I want to implement something like that. I did everything bu
encountered some problem on updating the textbox. Only the way thi
control used to update the text one by one like the link could preven
my current issues.

thanks again,
Am

Well it is possible but it involves some scripting. My approach is to
create a div element that contains several absolute positioned
textboxes and spans. In HTML it looks like this;

<div style="position:relative;
width:200px;height:24px;background-color:white; border:solid blue 1px">
<input type="text"
style="position:absolute;left:2px;top:2px;height:2 0px;width:28px;border:solid
black 0px" maxLength="2"/>
<span
style="position:absolute;left:24px;top:2px;width:3 px;height:20px"[color=blue]
>/</span>[/color]
<input type="text"
style="position:absolute;left:30px;top:2px;height: 20px;width:28px;border:solid
black 0px" maxLength="2"/>
</div>

This will give you the desired effect of a masked input. You can use a
pattern as an input parameter and parse it with regular expressions to
create your masked input. Use the onkeypress event on the textboxes to
validate the typed characters.

Thank you for your reply. This looks like a great idea. But how d
you think if it is possible not using the DIV tag? If you build a .ne
web server control, you might not be able to use <DIV>, right? Any mor
thought on this
