==================
I'm looking for a way to mask input on the first 3 characters of a postal code. Codes are in format A#A -- I have Denis' masking plugin (JQuerySimpleMask) installed, but that seems to allow only for masking of numerical input. I'd like to enforce the alpha-num-alpha format... Any suggestions how to do this? It would be ideal if validation is done as the user is typing their imput.

You can use the jQuery.Mask plugin - github.com/igorescobar/jQuery-Mask-Plugin .

So, something like this in the question source (although it would be better to download the plugin and serve it locally):

Code:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery.mask/1.14.16/jquery.mask.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"  data-author="Tony Partner">
    $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){       
    $('#question{QID} input:text').mask('S0S', {
      translation: {
        '0': { pattern: /\d/ },
        'S': { pattern: /[a-zA-Z]/ }
      }
    });
    });
</script>
