jquery masked input plugin date formatting
http://digitalbush.com/projects/masked-input-plugin/
Example 1
I have this fiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/L8btddb1/
HTML
<input id="date" type="text"></input>
JavaScript
$("#date").mask("99/99/999
When I apply the above date format mask on the textbox it works fine.
Example 2
Now I revised example 1 to this. I am basically setting a default value on the texbox.
This is how i need the textbox to be on page load.
http://jsfiddle.net/sh1mtce5/
HTML
<input id="date" type="text" value="11/5/2017"></input>
JavaScript
$("#date").mask("99/99/999
The masking is getting set on the textbox but notice how the default value doesn't display on the textbox on page load.
It only works if i set the days to double digits like this:
<input id="date" type="text" value="11/05/2017"></input
How do I fix example 2,
so regardless whether the textbox value is single digits value="11/5/2017" or double digits value="11/05/2017" it will display on the masked textbox on page load?
