How to specify a jquery inputmask that is either a number or a fixed string?












-2















The goal is for the user to input a 9 digit number or a string with the value "YOUR NAME". Something like:



 <input type="text"
data-inputmask="'mask': '(999999999)|(YOUR NAME)'">


I know that doesn't work, but I've tried a lot of different variations and none work.



Is there a way to do this with jquery inputmask?

          The secret is you need to escape constant values. As in:



          data-inputmask="'mask': '(999999999)|(\Y\O\U\R\ \N\A\M\E)','rightAlign':false"
