How to write within the placeholder text?

Question

I have a text box which has the place holder within as __-__-__ ("_" denotes a number) When I type in the box, it is entered as 123456. I need it to be entered as 12-34-56 (without manually adding the "-" character)

<input type="text" placeholder ="__-__-__" id="number"/>

@Sushrut you can use simple vanilla JS to achieve this. Refer to my answer which is the last on the thread for more info . https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11632525/insert-dash-after-every-4th-character-in-input/55339195#55339195.
