I am using the digitalbush input mask for time. Currently, I have it set up as 0:00:00. When you enter the numbers, it populates from left to right. So adding a 1 would result in 1:00:00 ... adding another 1 results in 1:10:00. I would like it to go from right to left so a 1 would result in 0:00:01 .... adding another 1 would result in 0:00:11.
I have attached dir="rtl" to my input, which on it's own just formats the placeholder text to the right, doesn't affect the way the numbers are input. When I add numericInput:true, the numbers populate from right to left, exactly as I want, but it doesn't keep the placeholder values - it goes to _::.
Could someone please provide direction/know if this is possible? I found this Right to left mask input with jQuery but can't seem to make it work. Thanks!

Reset to default 5I ended up using RobinHerbots input mask.
My html input block:
<input type = "text" name = "result" id = "result" placeholder= "0:00:00" dir="rtl">
The jquery formatting:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#result").inputmask("9:99:99",{numericInput:true, placeholder:"0"});
});
The result of this is a placeholder 0:00:00 and when you type "1" it results in 0:00:01. Then a "23" you get 00:01:23 and so on...
