Masked Input Plugin with a default value
<p>I've been using  digitalbush's <a href="http://digitalbush.com/projects/masked-input-plugin/" rel="nofollow">masked input plugin</a>, and I was wondering if there was any way you could add a default value to the masked fields. </p>

<p>I've tried adding it using:</p>

<pre><code> &lt;input id = "date" type="text" value="DD/MM/YYYY" onfocus="this.value = this.value=='DD/MM/YYYY'?'':this.value;" onblur="this.value = this.value==''?'DD/MM /YYYY':this.value;"&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>but after applying the masking via </p>

<pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
    $(document).ready(function(){              
        $("#date").mask("99/99/9999", {placeholder:"#"});
    });      
&lt;/script&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>The default value HTML no longer works.</p>
