Using Javascript to Format a Textfield

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post, and I think this is the correct board to post, but if not, I'm sorry. Anyway, my question is about using Javascript on a page that is powered by FileMaker. I have a javascript that formats a text field's contents into looking like a phone number. Like so: (NNN)NNN-NNNN so as you are typing the numbers the dash and parenthesis gets put in while you are typing. I was wondering if there is any way I can use this javascript to make the FileMaker generated pages/textfields do the same. Or would I have to create my own web interface in order to do this? If the later, does anyone know of books, websites or other resource where I can find information on doing this?

Thanks in advance, if my question was not clear enough just let me know and I will elaborate a little more.

You can assign the field value to a Javascript variable; e.g.:

jsPhoneNum = "[FMP-Field:fmPhoneNum]";

All the best.
