Morning Eric,

I really appreciate your assistance with this!

I got a bit closer last night. I found an example last night which actually showed the entire code in one file rather than in little bits which don't explain how they fit together properly. So I used this example and got that to work. I then adjusted my Master page to use very similar code and now the mask is applied when the textbox has focus, I can enter only numbers in there, but when I leave the textbox, what I've entered disappears!

This is my code:

    <script src="js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    <script src="js/jquery.maskedinput.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   
    <script type="text/javascript">
        jQuery(function($) {
            $(".number").mask("999,999,999.99");
            $("#date").mask("99/99/9999", { placeholder: " " });
            $("#ssn").mask("999-99-9999", { completed: function() {
                alert("You typed the following: " + this.val());
            } 
            });
        })

     </script>

< later >

Changing the code to this does not work:

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $("document").ready() 
            {
                $(".number").mask("999,999,999.99");
            }

     </script>
