How to restrict user input of 24 format time into input field?

Question

I have an input field with time in HH:MM. And I need to manage that users can only enter correct time, to prevent them from entering wrong time.

A time in 24-Hour Format Regular Expression Pattern is

([01]?[0-9]|2[0-3]):[0-5][0-9]

And I've found mask input plugin https://github.com/RobinHerbots/jquery.inputmask

But I dont know how to do what I want. Thx a lot.

Solution

Like that ?

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#time").inputmask("h:s",{ "placeholder": "hh/mm" });
});​
