Masked input remove masked characters

[anant]

I am using the masked input plugin and it is very useful. i have been
trying to find a way to remove the input mask characters
i am doing some thing like
new MaskedInputBehavior("(999) 999-9999")
now when my value saves it has a mask so the numbers store like (801)
123-3423
I it possible to remove the mask so it stores the number as 8011233423
instead?

As far as i can see, you can only do it on the serverside by parsing/converting yourself the submitted value to the desired format.
Masked Input JQuery Plugin doesn't provide this kind of functionality.
