Input mask on textbox in SharePoint list form

Yesterday on LinkedIn I saw one discussion where one of group member asked a query about how to create Input mask on text box in SharePoint List form.

While searching on internet I found this post. In this post Author opened the new form in SharePoint designer, added custom new form and then added jQuery code on page.

But what if I do not have SharePoint designer.

So instead opening page in SharePoint designer, I added CEWP on NewForm.aspx

And then I did some changes in original code, Instead of custom style I used Title of the field. And I inserted below code in Source editor of the CEWP.

<script language="javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js" type="text/javascript" ></script>
<script language="javascript" src="http://jquery-joshbush.googlecode.com/files/jquery.maskedinput-1.2.2.min.js" type="text/javascript" ></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($){
   $("input[title='Phone']").mask("(999) 999-9999? Ext.99999");
});
</script>

And it worked for me. Have a look at below screenshot.
