Re: validating & masking using cfinput
Can you not simply leave it as it is, then check when the form is posted what
it equals? If it equals (000) 000-0000) you could simply make it blank.
<cfset variables.cellnumber = trim(form.cellnumber) />
<cfif variables.cellnumber eq "(000) 000-0000)">
<cfset variables.cellnumber = "" />
Not sure if that would work because I'm just using my head but it's worth a
Hope I'm actually seeing the point properly here.
