    Hi there,

    So I have defined jqxMaskedInput as shown below in my main form:

    $(“#workphone”).jqxMaskedInput({width: ‘90%’,height: ’20px’,mask:'(###)###-##-####’,value: 001});

    Upon form submission, if an error is encountered, I redirect the user to a failure page. At this point, user has the ability to go back to the form using browser back button. However, when the user goes back to the main form, he no longer sees the mask in maskedInput fields. I see that the placeholder is being retained on the jqxInput widget. I would expect the mask to retain itself too. Am I missing something here?

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards

    Hi nab054371,

    The place holder is what is displayed when there’s no entered value. When you go back, your web page will be re-displayed and your client side scripts will run again which means that the widgets will be re-initialized as well. That’s the same as opening the page for first time unless there is some caching. So the behavior is normal. The masked input will be re-created and will display an empty mask.

    Best Regards,

    So when I open the page first time, I see (001)___-___-____. However when I use the back button, I just see an empty mask. Sorry, I am still not understanding how that could be normal? I would expect the page to display (001)___-___-____ as no value has been input.
