Adding a '-' for a zipcode

When a user is inputting a zipcode into a textbox I want the '-' automatically inputted when they type in their 6th number. How do I do this?

These are both good options but I don't know how to call them.

leakim971: Where do I put your code? I read the link you attached but I don't really understand jquery.

Proculopsis: I understand yours better because the link shows me how to call the function, but where do I add the function? When I tried to add it between:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="scripts/jquery.js"></script>
<script>

'Added the code here

</script>

I got an error when saving. It said 'Some Unicode character in this file could not be saved in the current codepage...'

I must be adding the code in the wrong spot.

Any suggestions?
