var sprytextfield1= new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield1",
"phone_number");
The default format is U.S. area code and phone number format: (000) 000-0000, but you can specify a custom format
in the third parameter by using the "phone_custom" and "pattern" options, as in the following example:
var textfieldwidget1 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("textfieldwidget1",
"zip_code", {format:"phone_custom" , pattern:"00 0000 A"});
The following table shows a full list of values used for custom patterns.
Value Description
"0" Whole numbers between 0 and 9

"a" Lowercase alphabetic characters

"X" Uppercase alphanumeric characters
"x" Lowercase alphanumeric characters
"Y"; "y" Case-insensitive alphanumeric characters
