Usability Enhancement: Phone Formatting

[amygrant]

Just wanted to let everyone know this still works like a champ in 6.3

One problem I noticed however is if the field already had the an extension such as "(555) 555-5555 Ext 55", the onblur would change it to "(555) 555-5555 Ext Et55" and every time you lost focus on that field it would keep adding "Et"

In phone_format.js on line 20 is

phone = phone.replace(/\s|\(|\-|\)|\.|x|:|\*/g, "");

I see no use for not just stripping everything which is not numeric so I changed it to

phone = phone.replace(/\D/g,"");

fixed the problem

It works on 6.4

Here are the adjustments we made to work for North America ( +1 )

function fmt(num, id) {
	var phone = num;
	var pre = '';
	var main = '';
	var ext = '';

	phone = phone.replace(/\D/g,"");

	if (phone.length == 0) {
		return false;
	}
	
	if (phone.substr(0,1) == '1') {
		area =  "+1 (" + phone.substr(1,3) + ") ";
		pre = phone.substr(4,3) + "-";
		main = phone.substr(7,4);
		
		if (phone.length > 11) {
			ext = " Ext: " + phone.substr(11);
			phone = area + pre + main + ext;
		} else {
			phone = area + pre + main;
		}
		
	} else {
		area = "+1 (" + phone.substr(0,3) + ") ";
		pre = phone.substr(3,3) + "-";
		main = phone.substr(6,4);

		if (phone.length > 10) {
			ext = " Ext: " + phone.substr(10);
			phone = area + pre + main + ext;
		} else {
			phone = area + pre + main;
		}
	}
