Special Field Formatting

  1. Please help this post be a resource for all things "special formatting" -- a one-stop-shop of "how-to"...

    1) Put currency symbol (e.g. $) and punctuation (e.g. commas and periods) for money fields
    Example question: How much did you pay for your item? ______ $1,572.00 ______

    2) Telephone numbers
    Example question: What is your cell#? ____ 555-555-5555 ____
    -or-
    (555) 555-5555
    -or-
    (555)555-5555 (no space)

    3) Social Security Numbers
    Example: 123-45-6789

    4) EINs (Federal ID)
    Example: 12-3456789

    5) custom ID fields
    Example: A###-###

    So... How can all these be done -- both in the form field entry (front-end) side and in the display side (back-end)?

    Please and thank you.
