Juan Basso created a project hosted at github. I am unable to keep working on this behavior an he is making some updates to the code. I think github is a great tool because you can simply fork the project and make your own changes. Go check his work: http://github.com/jrbasso/MeioUpload/tree/master

meioMask 1.1.1 s out!

It doesn’t change a lot of things, but i needed to realease it since there a little bug on the fixed and ‘repeat’ mask (old ‘infinite’). Basically the caret was buggy on ‘repeat’ inputs that accepts more characters than it should (i don’t know how to explain this). Fixed masks weren’t firing the onkeyup event properly, causing little bugs, but it is now ok.

Added 2 new options:

• selectCharsOnFocus (default=true): will select all the chars from the input when you focus it;
• textAlign (default=true): will let you control if you want to apply text-align or not on the input. This is usefull if you don’t want to align-right the inputs on reversed masks;

To end changes, the project is being hosted now at github, witch is kind of better than the old one.

Everyone that has 1.1 working ok is encouraged to change to 1.1.1.

Changelog

v1.1.1

• Fixed caret bug on ‘repeat’ masks;
• Fixed keyup event on fixed masks, it is now firing propertly;
• Added selectCharsOnFocus option;
• Added textAlign option.

v1.1

• Mask type ‘infinite’ is now called ‘repeat’ (using ‘infinite’ still works but it is deprecated). It now allows a maxLenght value to be set. MaxLength can be set by the maxLength attribute of the element or the maxLength option;
• You can easily set an autoTab option that will focus the next form element when the masked input is totally filled. It is true by default but you can put a jQuery selector string to match the next element you want to be focused.
• Deprecated ‘unmaskVal’ function. This function is too buggy… works for most cases but not all. The best way to unmask a value is by doing it yourself;
• The fixedChars option is not global anymore, giving more flexibility for the masks;
• ‘phone-us’ mask is now ‘(999) 999-9999′;
• Correctly fires the onChange event on reverse masked inputs.

You can see the plugin page here. It contains documentation and examples. Please tell me any bug, new feature, english errors on documentation…. anything! I’ll be glad to hear your feedback and make the fixes. Hope it helps you!

MXHR stands for multiple XmlHttpRequests and was created some days ago by digg.com front end engineers.

This awesome technology lets front end engineers request more than one resource in a single XmlHttpRequest. As an example you will be able, in the future (the project is in alpha release), to get a javascript file, a css and some images with only one request, meaning that you will consume less bandwidth, will get data faster and it will be ordered the way you want. Cool huh?
