Appendix A: Text Formatting

Text Area Input Masking

Text Area Input Masking can be used to limit the allowed/correct characters that are entered into a text area. For example, in working with a zip code, a user could limit the entry to a max length of only 5 characters but, with input masking, you could limit them to 5 mandatory numerical digits and 4 optional numerical digits. A possible use for this feature is to enter information into form fields. The purpose of this feature is to:

Force you to use correct type of characters (i.e. numbers vs. characters)

Limit the number of characters in a text area

Suggest proper format with fixed characters

Right to Left

Required or Optional

Change/Force a Case

Create multiple logical fields

Specify range of characters/number for each field

With this feature, it is NOT necessary to:

Limit you to a choice of selections

Handle complex input tasks such as names, days of the week or month by name

Perform complex validation such as Subnet Mask validation

Input mask character types

These character types define what information is allowed to be entered in any specific instance. The following table lists what characters in an input mask will define what characters are allowed in any given position.

Character Types

The number of the above characters used determines the length of the input masking box. Example: 0000 requires an entry, requires digits to be used, and allows only 4 characters to be entered/used.
