you can try this javaScript Function and Call it from onChange event of your textbox

function dateFormat(el){
    value = el.value;       
    el.value = value.replace(/^([\d]{4})([\d]{2})([\d]{2})$/,"$1/$2/$3");        
}

First, you need to write a function to do the convert,

function convert(original){};

then listen to onkeyup evnets, and pass the value of the input to the convert function, set the input's value to its result
