Any way to restrict JQuery input to only unique characters that haven't been input previously

I have a simple JQuery/JS Hangman game and I've spent alot of time making it work and I've run into one issue that messes up my logic and running of the game - when the player enters repeated chars (either right or wrong).
The way I've made the game work, starting with empty arrays I'm pushing into, I thought that I could create a function to only push unique chars into the array function
unique(array) {
var result = [];
$.each(array, function(i, e) {
if ($.inArray(e, result) == -1) result.push(e);
});
return result;
}
var uniqueRightGuesses = unique(rightGuesses);
var uniqueWrongGuesses = unique(wrongGuesses);
But this doesn't work because w/the inner workings of my game, the repeated input chars are still getting displayed & messing up the way winning & loosing is input (even though I'm calculating winning w/the sum of an additional array I've created to take care of a letter that repeats multiple times in a word). I've tried alot of various things at various parts of the game/in various functions and I've figured out that the easiest way to take care of this issue would be to somehow prevent the player from inputing a char if they've already input in the course of the game, in this function:
$(".form-control").keypress(function(event) {
var keycode = (event.keyCode ? event.keyCode : event.which);
if (keycode == 13) {
var space = $(this).val().toLowerCase();
play(space);
$(this).val('');
endGame();
return false;
}
});
I've searched online for a way to do this, I've found jQuery.unique() but I don't think that it'd work here as it's only on DOM objects in an array (& I just want the input to not register/not be allowed if the player has already entered that letter, if it's right or wrong guess- if I take care of this problem at this spot in the game, I won't have to mess w/my arrays or the variables I'm displaying but I don't know how to simply do this.
If anyone has any suggestions or knows if this is even possible, I'd really appreciate it- I've found alot online about restricting special chars & numbers in this way but nothing about ones that have already been entered & I don't know if this is even possible (this is the first time I've ever even used .keypress() so I'm sort of new to it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Here's my entire game code:

var random = Math.floor(Math.random() * wordBank.length);
var toString = wordBank[random];
console.log(toString);
word = toString.split("");
console.log(word);
}
randomWord();
function wordSpaces() {
for (var i = 0; i < word.length; i++) {
$(".word-spaces > tbody > tr").append('<td data-idx=i>' + word[i] + '</td>')
}
}
wordSpaces();
function play(space) {
//indexOf()==inArray()
var rightCount = 0;
var lIndex = jQuery.inArray(space, word);
console.log(lIndex);
if (lIndex == -1) {
wrongGuesses.push(space);
var wrong = wrongGuesses.length;
console.log('wrong ' + wrong);

function getInstances(word, space) {
var indexes = [],
w;
for (w = 0; w < word.length; w++)
if (word[w] === space)
indexes.push(w);
return indexes;
}
console.log(word + "word");
console.log(space + "space");
var indexes = getInstances(word, space);

});

right.push(rightCount);
console.log(right + "right");
// rightGuesses.push(space);
// totalRight = totalRight + rightCount;
// totalRight++;
// console.log(totalRight + 'totalRight');
}
}
console.log(right + "right");
$(".form-control").keypress(function(event) {
var keycode = (event.keyCode ? event.keyCode : event.which);

Use Array.indexOf(). No need for jQuery.
Do a check to see if the key pressed is contained in the wrongGuess or rightGuess array and if it is alert the user.
$(".form-control").keypress(function(event) {
var keycode = (event.keyCode ? event.keyCode : event.which);
if (keycode == 13) {
var space = $(this).val().toLowerCase();
if (!(wrongGuess.indexOf(space) > -1 || rightGuess.indexOf(space) > -1)) {
play(space);
$(this).val('');
endGame();
return false;
}
else
window.alert("You already guessed this letter.");
}
});

comma format as typing in angular

In jqxwidget
http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxnumberinput/index.htm
by default the comma’s are already in place and separated by underscore.
what i want is to have the field empty and as soon as user starts typing the comma should come as and when similarly to F2 cell render-er.
so when typed 100 is should show 100
when typed 10000 ,it should show 10,000
also i have angular in my app as we are using jqxwidget in conjucation with so any angular way is also fine
one plugin i have found does the job but when focus out not when typing
https://www.npmjs.com/package/angular-numeric-directive

Hey I have solved this before by creating a directive that applies a filter to your HTML input. Here is a jsfiddle example
This is the directive. It both formats the user's input and keeps the cursor where the user is typing. My one issue with this is the logic behind where the cursor should be pointed.
fessmodule.directive('format', ['$filter', function ($filter) {
return {
require: '?ngModel',
link: function (scope, elem, attrs, ctrl) {
if (!ctrl) return;
var parts = attrs.format.split(':');
attrs.foramtType = parts[0];
attrs.pass = parts[1];
ctrl.$formatters.unshift(function (a) {
return $filter(attrs.foramtType)(ctrl.$modelValue, attrs.pass)
});
ctrl.$parsers.unshift(function (viewValue) {
var cursorPointer = elem.context.selectionStart;
var plainNumber = viewValue.replace(/[^\d|\-+|\.+]/g, '');
elem.val($filter(attrs.foramtType)(plainNumber, attrs.pass));
elem.context.setSelectionRange(cursorPointer, cursorPointer);
return plainNumber;
});
}
};
And the HTML to activate it
<input type="text" ng-model="test" format="number:2" />

Angular already provides pretty basic formatting filters
like
html : {{val | number:0}}
script: $scope.val = 1234.56789;
ref:
https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/filter/number
https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/filter/currency
https://scotch.io/tutorials/all-about-the-built-in-angularjs-filters

Demo
<input value="100000000" id="testInput" />
Simply apply this .formatInput(numberOfCharactersForSeparator, Separator ); to your input
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#testInput").formatInput(3,"," );
});
using this plugin that i just made :p
$.fn.formatInput = (function(afterHowManyCharacter,commaType)

<html>
<script src= "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.14/angular.min.js"></script>
<script>
var app = angular.module('app',[]);
app.controller('myCtrl',function($scope){
$scope.name = "1232.33";
$scope.changeFormat = function(value){
$scope.name = Number(value).toLocaleString('en');
}
});
</script>
<body>
<div ng-app="app" ng-controller="myCtrl">
<p>Input something in the input box:</p>
<p>Number: <input type="text" ng-model="name" placeholder="Enter name here" ng-blur="changeFormat(name)"></p>
<h1>Formatted value {{name}}</h1>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Here is a hackish solution. The idea is to watch for changes in the input text and format the input accordingly.
HTML
<div ng-controller="so">
<input ng-model="salary"></input>
</div>
Javascript
app.controller('so', function($scope) {
$scope.salary = '12567';
$scope.$watch('salary', function(){
// strip out all the commas and dots
var temp = $scope.salary;
if (!temp) return; // ignore empty input box
var lastChar = temp[temp.length-1];
if (lastChar === ',' || lastChar === '.') // skip it/allow commas
return;
var a = temp.replace(/,/g,''); //remove all commas
//console.log(a);
if (isNaN(a))
$scope.salary = temp.substring(0, temp.length-1); // last char was not right
else {
var n = parseInt(a, 10); // the integer part
var f = ''; // decimal part
if (a.indexOf('.') >= 0) // decimal present{
if (lastChar === '0') // 0's after decimal point are OK
return;
f = ('' + parseFloat(a)).substr(a.indexOf('.'));
}
var formatted_salary = '';
var count = 0;
var ns = '' + n; // string of integer part
for (var i=ns.length-1; i>=0; i--) {
if (count%3===0 && count>0)
formatted_salary = ',' + formatted_salary;
formatted_salary = ns[i] + formatted_salary;
count += 1;
}
formatted_salary = formatted_salary + (f ? f : '');
$scope.salary = formatted_salary;
}
})
})
Here is the JSFiddle
It gracefully handles things like
won't allow any characters other than numbers , and .
multiple commas and dots formatted correctly
PS:- you might want to handle the proper positioning of the caret yourself using text range. I haven't included that here.

100 => 100
1000 =>1,000
10000 => 10,000
100000 => 100,000
...
10000000 => 10,000,000
10000000.540 => 10,000,000.540
I use ng-change event to make this example
// on-change event
$scope.ngchanged = function (val) {
$scope.iputval = numberWithCommas(val);
};
function numberWithCommas(n) {
while (n.toString().indexOf(",") != -1)
{
n = n.replace(",", "");
}
var parts = n.toString().split(".");
return parts[0].replace(/\B(?=(?:\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",") + (parts[1] ? "." + parts[1] : "");
}
Use it
<input type="text" ng-model="iputval" ng-change="ngchanged(iputval)" />

input field: limit the number of letters and numbers typed

Is there a way to limit the number of letters and numbers allowed to type in to an input field? I would like to only allow 3 letters and 2 numbers to be typed in, in whatever order.
Is this possible using the jQuery Mask Plugin? Or not?
See my jsFiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/0akoL2x2/
html:
<input type="text" class="preview" size="30" placeholder="Preview text" class="text-input" maxlength="5" autofocus />
jquery:
jQuery('.personalisation').mask("XXXZZ", {
translation: {
'X': {pattern: /[A-Za-z0-9]/},
'Z': {pattern: /[A-Za-z0-9]/},
}

How about using a data attribute? Let's call it data-temp:
<input type="text" class="alnum" maxlength="5" data-temp="">
Use $(document).on('input'... to monitor all changes (even dynamic elements), and revert back immediately if the new value exceeds the maximum. Otherwise, let it happen, and update data-temp to this new value.
$(document).on('input', '.alnum', function(){
var txt = $(this).val();
if(
txt.replace(/[^0-9]/g,"").length > 2 ||
txt.replace(/[^A-Za-z]/g,"").length > 3 ||
txt.replace(/[a-zA-Z0-9]/g,"").length != 0
){
$(this).val( $(this).data('temp') );
return;
}
$(this).data('temp', txt);
});
JSFiddle demo

Here is a fiddle that works:
http://jsfiddle.net/igorshmigor/k2ss62gg/3/
The JS code looks like this:
var numberCountLimit = 2;
var letterCountLimit = 3;
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.preview').keypress(function(key) {
if (key.charCode == 0){
return true;
}
var current = $(this).val();
var filtered = current.replace(/[^a-z0-9]/gmi,'');
$(this).val(filtered);
var digits = filtered.replace(/[^0-9]/gmi,'');
var alpha = filtered.replace(/[^a-z]/gmi,'');
var digitCount = digits.length;
var alphaCount = alpha.length;
var isNumber = false;
var isAlpha = false;
if (key.charCode > 47 && key.charCode < 58){
isNumber = true;
if (digitCount >= numberCountLimit){
return false; // too many digits
}
}
if (key.charCode > 64 && key.charCode < 123){
isAlpha = true;
if (alphaCount >= letterCountLimit){
return false; // too many letters
}
}
if (!isAlpha && !isNumber){
return false;
}
});
});
P.S.: I don't think this can be done with just the jQuery Mask Plugin.

Give your text box an ID.
$("#box").mask('XXXZZ', {'translation': {
X: {pattern: /[A-Za-z0-9]/},
Z: {pattern: /[A-Za-z0-9]/}
}
});
JSFiddle

How about this, you hook the keypress and check the number/letter counters and if it exceeds you will just ignore the keypress (by returning false)
var numberCount = 0;
var numberCountLimit = 2;
var letterCount = 0;
var letterCountLimit = 3;
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.personalisation').keypress(function(key) {
var currentText = $(this).val();
numberCount = 0;
letterCount = 0;
for (var i = 0, len = currentText.length; i < len; i++) {
if(currentText.charCodeAt(i) < 48 || currentText.charCodeAt(i) > 57) {
//Is number
if((numberCount+1) > numberCountLimit) {
return false;
}
numberCount++;
} else {
//Is letter
if((letterCount+1) > letterCountLimit) {
return false;
}
letterCount++;
}
}
return true;
});
}

How do you prevent bad user input on watched input fields in angular?

I have a watched input field on a grid with pagination. Something like X of 28 Pages.
I want the user to be able to change that input, but I also want to prevent bad input.
My checks are >= 1 or <= Max Pages (28 in this case). The input defaults to 1.
I accomplished this by comparing the new value against those constraints, if it fails, revert to the old value. The problem comes when someone wants to type in 20 lets say. This requires they delete the 1, and type 20. As soon as they delete 1, it fails the constraints and reverts back to 1 making impossible to type in 20.
Is there anyway to accomplish this without removing it from the $watch?

You could use a combination of <input type="number"> and your own directive that has a parser and a listener for the blur event. That way your watch will only get executed when the page number is a valid page, or once with null when the input is invalid, but the user can input whatever until the blur event fires. Something like this:
<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.angularjs.org/1.0.5/angular.min.js"></script>
<script>
angular.module('myApp', []).controller('Ctrl', function($scope) {
$scope.pageNumber = 1;
})
.directive('myPagenumber', function() {
return {
require: 'ngModel',
link: function($scope, elem, attrs, ctrl) {
$scope.$watch(attrs.ngModel, function(val) {
console.log('ng-model value: ' + val);
});
var parsePage = function(val) {
var num = parseInt(val, 10);
if (isNaN(num)) {
return null;
} else if (num > 28 || num < 1) {
return 1;
} else {
return num;
}
}
ctrl.$parsers.push(function(val) {
return parsePage(val);
});
elem.bind('blur', function() {
var page = parsePage(elem.val());
if (page === null)
page = 1;
$scope.$apply(function() {
ctrl.$setViewValue(page);
ctrl.$render();
});
});
}
};
});
</script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="Ctrl">
<input type="number" ng-model="pageNumber" my-pagenumber>
</body>
</html>

I wrote an example for you:
var min = 1;
var max = 28;
$('.page').live('keydown', function (e){
var currentVal = $(this).val();
//enter,tab, shift
if(e.which == 37 || e.which == 39 || e.which == 9 || e.which == 8) {
return;
// key up
} else if(e.which == 38){
if(currentVal < max){
currentVal++;
}
$(this).val(currentVal);
//key down
} else if( e.which == 40) {
if(currentVal > min){
currentVal--;
}
$(this).val(currentVal);
//only numbers
} else if(e.which >= 48 && e.which <= 57){
var val = e.which - 48;
if(e.target.selectionEnd == e.target.selectionStart) {
val = currentVal.insert(e.target.selectionEnd, val);
} else {
val = currentVal.replace(currentVal.substr(getSelectionStart(e.target),getSelectionEnd(e.target)),val);
}
if(min<=val && val <= max) {
$(this).val(val);
}
}
e.preventDefault();
});
// utility functions
//get the start index of the user selection
function getSelectionStart(o) {
if ( typeof o.selectionStart != 'undefined' )
return o.selectionStart;
// IE And FF Support
o.focus();
var range = o.createTextRange();
range.moveToBookmark(document.selection.createRange().getBookmark());
range.moveEnd('character', o.value.length);
return o.value.length - range.text.length;
};
//get the end index of the user selection
function getSelectionEnd(o) {
if ( typeof o.selectionEnd != 'undefined' )
return o.selectionEnd;
// IE And FF Support
o.focus();
var range = o.createTextRange();
range.moveToBookmark(document.selection.createRange().getBookmark());
range.moveStart('character', - o.value.length);
return range.text.length;
};
/*
* Insert Text at a index
*/
String.prototype.insert = function (index, string) {
if (index > 0)
return this.substring(0, index) + string + this.substring(index, this.length);
else
return string + this;

Phone mask with jQuery and Masked Input Plugin

I have a problem masking a phone input with jQuery and Masked Input Plugin.
There are 2 possible formats:
(XX)XXXX-XXXX
(XX)XXXXX-XXXX
Is there any way to mask it accepting both cases?
EDIT:
I tried:
$("#phone").mask("(99) 9999-9999");
$("#telf1").mask("(99) 9999*-9999");
$("#telf1").mask("(99) 9999?-9999");
But it doesn't works as I would like.
The closest one was (xx)xxxx-xxxxx.
I would like to get (xx)xxxx-xxxx when I type the 10th number, and (xx)xxxxx-xxxx when I type the 11th. Is it posible?

Try this - http://jsfiddle.net/dKRGE/3/
$("#phone").mask("(99) 9999?9-9999");
$("#phone").on("blur", function() {
var last = $(this).val().substr( $(this).val().indexOf("-") + 1 );
if( last.length == 3 ) {
var move = $(this).val().substr( $(this).val().indexOf("-") - 1, 1 );
var lastfour = move + last;
var first = $(this).val().substr( 0, 9 );
$(this).val( first + '-' + lastfour );
}
});

Here is a jQuery phone number mask. No plugin required.
Format can be adjusted to your needs.
Updated JSFiddle.

if ($phone.val().length === 1 && (key === 8 || key === 46)) {
$phone.val('(');
return false;
}
// Reset if they highlight and type over first char.
else if ($phone.val().charAt(0) !== '(') {
$phone.val('('+$phone.val());
}
// Auto-format- do not expose the mask as the user begins to type
if (key !== 8 && key !== 9) {
if ($phone.val().length === 4) {
$phone.val($phone.val() + ')');
}
if ($phone.val().length === 5) {
$phone.val($phone.val() + ' ');
}
if ($phone.val().length === 9) {
$phone.val($phone.val() + '-');
}
}
// Allow numeric (and tab, backspace, delete) keys only
return (key == 8 ||
key == 9 ||
key == 46 ||
(key >= 48 && key <= 57) ||
(key >= 96 && key <= 105));
})
.bind('focus click', function () {
$phone = $(this);
if ($phone.val().length === 0) {
$phone.val('(');
}
else {
var val = $phone.val();
$phone.val('').val(val); // Ensure cursor remains at the end
}
})
.blur(function () {
$phone = $(this);
if ($phone.val() === '(') {
$phone.val('');
}
});

Actually the correct answer is on http://jsfiddle.net/HDakN/
Zoltan answer will allow user entry "(99) 9999" and then leave the field incomplete
$("#phone").mask("(99) 9999-9999?9");
$("#phone").on("blur", function() {
var last = $(this).val().substr( $(this).val().indexOf("-") + 1 );
if( last.length == 5 ) {
var move = $(this).val().substr( $(this).val().indexOf("-") + 1, 1 );
var lastfour = last.substr(1,4);
var first = $(this).val().substr( 0, 9 );
$(this).val( first + move + '-' + lastfour );
}
});​

You need a jQuery plugin for the mask works as well.
-- HTML --
<input type="text" id="phone" placeholder="(99) 9999-9999">
<input type="text" id="telf1" placeholder="(99) 9999*-9999">
<input type="text" id="telf2" placeholder="(99) 9999?-9999">
-- JAVASCRIPT --
<script src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/igorescobar/jQuery-Mask-Plugin/master/src/jquery.mask.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function($){
$("#phone").mask("(99) 9999-9999");
$("#telf1").mask("(99) 9999*-9999");
$("#telf2").mask("(99) 9999?-9999");
});
</script>

You can use the phone alias with Inputmask v3
$('#phone').inputmask({ alias: "phone", "clearIncomplete": true });
$(function() {
$('input[type="tel"]').inputmask({ alias: "phone", "clearIncomplete": true });
});
<label for="phone">Phone</label>
<input name="phone" type="tel">

Using jQuery Mask Plugin there is two possible ways to implement it:
1- Following Anatel's recomendations:
https://gist.github.com/3724610/5003f97804ea1e62a3182e21c3b0d3ae3b657dd9
2- Or without following Anatel's recomendations:
https://gist.github.com/igorescobar/5327820
All examples above was coded using jQuery Mask Plugin and it can be downloaded at:
http://igorescobar.github.io/jQuery-Mask-Plugin/

var $phone = $("#input_id");
var maskOptions = {onKeyPress: function(phone) {
var masks = ['(00) 0000-0000', '(00) 00000-0000'];
mask = phone.match(/^\([0-9]{2}\) 9/g)
? masks[1]
: masks[0];
$phone.mask(mask, this);
}};
$phone.mask('(00) 0000-0000', maskOptions);

With jquery.mask.js
http://jsfiddle.net/brynner/f9kd0aes/
HTML
<input type="text" class="phone" maxlength="15" value="85999998888">
<input type="text" class="phone" maxlength="15" value="8533334444">
JS
// Function
function phoneMask(e){
var s=e.val();
var s=s.replace(/[_\W]+/g,'');
var n=s.length;
if(n<11){var m='(00) 0000-00000';}else{var m='(00) 00000-00000';}
$(e).mask(m);
}
// Type
$('body').on('keyup','.phone',function(){
phoneMask($(this));
});
// On load
$('.phone').keyup();
Only jQuery
http://jsfiddle.net/brynner/6vbrqe6z/
HTML
<p class="phone">85999998888</p>
<p class="phone">8599998888</p>
jQuery
$('.phone').text(function(i, text) {
var n = (text.length)-6;
if(n==4){var p=n;}else{var p=5;}
var regex = new RegExp('(\\d{2})(\\d{'+p+'})(\\d{4})');
var text = text.replace(regex, "($1) $2-$3");
return text;
});

The best way to do this is using the change event like this:
$("#phone")
.mask("(99) 9999?9-9999")
.on("change", function() {
var last = $(this).val().substr( $(this).val().indexOf("-") + 1 );
if( last.length == 3 ) {
var move = $(this).val().substr( $(this).val().indexOf("-") - 1, 1 );
var lastfour = move + last;
var first = $(this).val().substr( 0, 9 ); // Change 9 to 8 if you prefer mask without space: (99)9999?9-9999
$(this).val( first + '-' + lastfour );
}
})
.change(); // Trigger the event change to adjust the mask when the value comes setted. Useful on edit forms.

The best way to do it on blur is:
function formatPhone(obj) {
if (obj.value != "")
{
var numbers = obj.value.replace(/\D/g, ''),
char = {0:'(',3:') ',6:' - '};
obj.value = '';
upto = numbers.length;
if(numbers.length < 10)
{
upto = numbers.length;
}
else
{
upto = 10;
}
for (var i = 0; i < upto; i++) {
obj.value += (char[i]||'') + numbers[i];
}
}
}

As alternative
function FormatPhone(tt,e){
//console.log(e.which);
var t = $(tt);
var v1 = t.val();
var k = e.which;
if(k!=8 && v1.length===18){
e.preventDefault();
}
var q = String.fromCharCode((96 <= k && k <= 105)? k-48 : k);
if (((e.shiftKey || (e.keyCode < 48 || e.keyCode > 57)) && (e.keyCode < 96 || e.keyCode > 105)) && e.keyCode!=46 && e.keyCode!=37 && e.keyCode!=8 && e.keyCode!=39) {
e.preventDefault();
}
else{
setTimeout(function(){
var v = t.val();
var l = v.length;
//console.log(l);
if(k!=8){
if(l<4){
t.val('+7 ');
}
else if(l===4){
if(isNaN(q)){
t.val('+7 (');
}
else{
t.val('+7 ('+q);
}
}
else if(l===7){
t.val(v+')');
}
else if(l===9){
t.val(v1+' '+q);
}
else if(l===13||l===16){
t.val(v1+'-'+q);
}
else if(l>18){
v=v.substr(0,18);
t.val(v);
}
}
else{
if(l<4){
t.val('+7 ');
}
}
},100);
}
}

I was developed simple and easy masks on input field to US phone format jquery-input-mask-phone-number
Simple Add jquery-input-mask-phone-number plugin in to your HTML file and call usPhoneFormat method.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#yourphone').usPhoneFormat({
format: '(xxx) xxx-xxxx',
});
});
Working JSFiddle Link https://jsfiddle.net/1kbat1nb/

If you don't want to show your mask as placeholder you should use jQuery Mask Plugin.
The cleanest way:
var options = {
onKeyPress: function(phone, e, field, options) {
var masks = ['(00) 0000-00000', '(00) 00000-0000'];
var mask = (phone.length>14) ? masks[1] : masks[0];
$('.phone-input').mask(mask, options);
}
};
$('.phone-input').mask('(00) 0000-00000', options);

Yes use this
$("#phone").inputmask({"mask": "(99) 9999 - 9999"});
Link here

$('.phone').focus(function(e) {
// add mask
$('.phone')
.mask("(99) 99999999?9")
.focusin(function(event)
{
$(this).unmask();
$(this).mask("(99) 99999999?9");
})
.focusout(function(event)
{
var phone, element;
element = $(this);
phone = element.val().replace(/\D/g, '');
element.unmask();
if (phone.length > 10) {
element.mask("(99) 99999-999?9");
} else {
element.mask("(99) 9999-9999?9");
}
}
);
});
