I would suggest to change the implementation of the new mask functionality.

If you choose to display the mask in the field (Parameter "Show mask in input") it is implemented as value="mask", which creates a problem, if the user will not add anything in this field --> the mask will be saved in the database.

Why not using placeholder="mask"?

A new parameter Placeholder would be good as well.

If there is a place holder, display it in the input field, if there is a mask and the parameter "Show mask in input" is "YES" than display the mask via the PLACEHOLDER and not via VALUE.

Talking about the VALUE -- The implementation in input template can still be improved.

As of now, if there is no VALUE parameter, it still shows it empty... example:

<input type="text" name="jform[fields][52]" id="field_52" value="" class="inputbox" style="width:50" aria-invalid="false">

just a little "optimization" .. :D

Placeholder is better :)

I would like to change mask input to different jQuery library

http://digitalbush.com/projects/masked-input-plugin/

But problem is that it will break all sites that already using it. I'll do it in Cobalt 9.

But the mask for text field was just introduced last update ... and it seems sites were not updated yet, otherwise they would have noticed the problem with the VALUE implementation ...

FYI - Bootstrap JASNI

What about a switch/toggle between versions? Possible?

Or can you update the older version during installation? (I remember the patches from Resources)

Unfortunately I cannot update Bootstrap of Joomla/ I also cannot use alternative one. It will conflict. i have to use only Joomla's bootstrap and I can extend it on my own.
