A lot of people seem to need dynamic width number masking. Where
currency symbols, decimal separators, and thousands separators are
applied automatically. I'm thinking about taking this on, but I have
a few questions.
1.Should is be a part of the masked input plugin or a separate new
plugin?
*It seems like the only similarities between the two would be the
caret positioning stuff.
2.Regardless of separation, should I modify the namespacing to
accomodate both?
a. $(selector).mask.fixed(mask,options); //current behavior
b. $(selector).mask.variable(mask,options); //new proposed
behavior
Also, the biggest thing that's running through my head is this.
What's the easiest way to denote this? Ideally I'd like to say
mask.variable("-$9.99") or something similar, but that doesn't really
give me any kind of idea on how to do this for other nationalities.
Should I leave all of the i18n stuff as options?
{decimalSeparator:",",thousandsSeparator:"."} This seems clunky to
me. Is there any good way to read internationalization and
globalization stuff from the browser? My head is swimming with
ideas here, I just need some direction.
