Description

This plugin just provides a decimal mask to an HTML input. It treats only the decimal separator, it can't handle thousand separators. It can apply the separator in the value given by the backend on web apps. The separator supported are the "," or ".". (I don't believe there are another types)

Compatible browsers:

• Opera 10+ (Old versions not tested)
• Chrome 4+
• Firefox 2+
• IE 5.5+
• Safari 4+ (Old versions not tested)

Usage

The usage is simple:

  $('your selector').decimalMask('your mask');

or NEW

  <input data-d-mask="999" />

Masks

Some valid masks are:

• 999.99
• .999
• 999
• 999,99
• ,999
• -999
• -99,99
• You got it...
