I have recently used the "Format Phone Number" script available on this site at http://javascript.internet.com/forms/format-phone-number.html

I am looking for a quick and painless way of formatting multiple Phone Number fields on the same page. I'm hoping that somehow I could pass the field name to the script.

This is probably simple, but I'm a bit new to JavaScript.

Thanks.

I've taken the liberty of giving you a script that will convert from any format.

<!--
function PhoneNumber (s) {this.number = s.match(/\d/g)}
PhoneNumber.prototype.toString = function () {return ['(', this.number[0], this.number[1], this.number[2], ')', this.number[3], this.number[4], this.number[5], '-', this.number[6], this.number[7], this.number[8], this.number[9]].join('')}
// -->
</script>
<div>
<input type="text" onchange="this.value = new PhoneNumber(this.value)">
<input type="submit">
</div>
</form>

I have a JavaScript routine, available for free, which will take in just about any format you can think of and give back whatever you wish. Write to me directly at jalarie@umich.edu and ask for phonfmt1.js if you're interested.
