problem re-populating Masked Input

[jscoulterParticipant]

We are using a masked input in a webpage but when we repopulate the masked edit, it doesnt populate it correctly.

We are doing the following:

$(“#GSTNumber”).jqxMaskedInput({ mask: ‘##-###-###’ });
$(“#GSTNumber”).jqxMaskedInput(‘val’, data.PayerGSTNumber);

The one thing we ARE doing is removing the ‘-‘ when we save the value (as a string) but when re populate the value it doesnt populate the value correctly. The below is a copy of the text we are populating, and the resulting text that goes into the masked input:
the data to be populated is: 33333333
the date when populated: 33-333-3__

What is it we are doing wrong??

Hi jscoulter,

The value which you set should match the mask. Here’s an example: http://jsfiddle.net/jqwidgets/8eoL490n/. Another option is to use the “value” property instead of “val” method. Example: http://jsfiddle.net/jqwidgets/nz2mspqd/
