Pet Peeve – Phone Numbers on Web Forms

Phone numbers on web formsIs it too much to ask for an example of the proper format when you’re given the option to enter a phone number on a web form?  Especially when a phone number is required?

I was just trying to enter my phone number at Godaddy.com – and kept getting messages that my phone number was invalid.

555.555.5555 – nope, invalid

(555) 555-5555 – didn’t work either

555-555-5555 – doggonit

5555555555 – that one worked!

It really shouldn’t be that big a deal to give an example of the correct format.

And sure would make the web a friendlier place!!!
