How can I create a masked phone number field in Webflow and what are the step by step instructions for accessing the code if needed?

To create a masked phone number field in Webflow, you can take advantage of its built-in form element called "Tel". The "Tel" input field is specifically designed for capturing phone numbers, and you can easily apply a mask to it using Webflow’s custom code feature. Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to achieve this:

1. Create a new form element: Start by adding a form element to your Webflow project or selecting an existing form element that you want to modify.

2. Add a new input field: Within the form element, add a new input field and select the "Tel" type from the field options.

3. Edit the input field settings: Select the input field, go to the "Settings" tab in the right-hand sidebar, and customize the field properties like label, placeholder, and required status according to your preference.

4. Apply a mask using custom code: To add a mask to the phone number field, you'll need to utilize Webflow's custom code feature. Here's how:

• Select the input field, then go to the "Settings" tab in the right-hand sidebar, and scroll down to the "Custom Attributes" section.
• Click on the "+ Add Attribute" button and enter "data-mask" as the attribute name.
• In the attribute value field, specify the desired phone number mask format using the available syntax. For example, you can use "(999) 999-9999" for a US phone number format.

1. Publish your site: After configuring the mask, save your changes and publish your site for the changes to take effect on the live version.

Accessing the Code:

If you wish to access and modify the code directly, follow these steps:

1. Go to your Webflow project dashboard and select the project you're working on.

2. Navigate to the "Pages" panel on the left-hand side and select the page containing the masked phone number field.

3. Click on the page name to access the page settings, and select the "Custom Code" tab.

4. Under the "Head Code" or "Footer Code" section, you can add any custom code you need, including JavaScript or CSS code for modifying the behavior and appearance of the masked phone number field.

Remember to save your changes and publish your site for the custom code to take effect.
