This wouldn't work for pasting text into the inputs, but for copying it from the inputs, it just might... 1. have the four inputs initially hidden, and display a single, disabled text input. 2. on double-click, the single input is hidden, the 4 others are displayed, and focus is set to the first of the 4 inputs 3. when none of the 4 inputs has focus (or on double-clicking any of them when in "edit mode"), hide them and display the single, disabled input again. 4. The single input's value is just a concatenated string of the 4 inputs and the joiners (- - x). It's updated whenever any of the 4 inputs loses focus. Not the most elegant solution, but if a quick hack is needed, maybe it would do the trick? --Karl
Yeah, I was thinking along those lines with a few changes... The two cases (that I can think of) when a user selects input are they: mouse down & highlight OR Ctrl+A. I could detect the Ctrl+A and create a new input with the joined inputs and have everything selected, focused, read-only and then remove the field onBlur. That way it would appear somewhat more "natural". As for pasting, there are two options I've thought of: 1) I could detect the Ctrl+V and fire an input prompt asking them to past their value and then parse it into the fields. 2) Make sure max-length on the first field is 10-12 characters and attach an onChange event that checks the length of the field and if it's longer than 3 "float" the remaining values across the other fields. Thoughts? -js
