jQuery Masked Input plugin not working on form input?

6.6k views Asked by At

I'm trying to use the Masked Input plugin on one of my dataTables Editor fields (#DTE_Field_phone). For some reason, the mask isn't being applied with this code:

$('#DTE_Field_phone').mask('(999) 999-9999');

I'm calling the mask after the table and editor are initialized, yet still nothing. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?

HTML:

<div class="DTE_Field_Input" data-dte-e="input">
    <input id="DTE_Field_phone"></input>
    <div class="DTE_Field_Error" data-dte-e="msg-error" style="display: none;"></div>
    <div class="DTE_Field_Message" data-dte-e="msg-message"></div>
    <div class="DTE_Field_Info" data-dte-e="msg-info"></div>
</div>

jQuery:

jQuery(function ($) {
    $( document ).ready(function (e) {
        var editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor({
            "ajaxUrl": "../wp-content/plugins/contacts/php/table.wp_contacts.php",
            "domTable": "#form_results7",
            "fields": [
                { "label": "Contact",
                  "name": "contact",
                  "type": "text" },
                { "label": "Company",
                  "name": "company",
                  "type": "text" },
                { "label": "Email",

                  "type": "text" }
            ]
        });

I have no experience of dataTables but from your code I think you are using the popup editor? If so you probably need to apply the mask in the event which is fired after the editor is opened like this:

editor.on('onOpen', function () {
    $('#DTE_Field_phone').mask('(999) 999-9999');
});

You're declaring a $( document ).ready(function (e) { function inside a Jquery(function($), which is wrong...

jQuery(function ($) {
    $( document ).ready(function (e) {
    ...
    }
}

You can't use these 2 functions together, since they hook to the same event.

See here in the documentation.

Solution 1

jQuery(function ($) {
...
}

Solution 2

$( document ).ready(function (e) {
...
}
