Phone Numbers in Rails/MySQL
Is there any easy way to make a fancy looking form to take phone
numbers. Something that looks like this:
[ ] - [ ] - [ ] ext: [ ]
Then when you submit it it''s combined into one string in the database.
Optimally it would auto-switch from field-to-field after you fill each
field.
Has anyone seen anything like this in Rails?
Thanks,
Adam
