Text-mask: Allow to use the mask with other input types

[gabrielamarques]

The only type that works is text.
Specially on mobile, it'd be nice to set the type of the input in order to show the correct keyboard.

@gabrielamarques It should work work on types other than text. There is no restriction on that, as far as I can tell.

@msafi I was having trouble setting the type to number so I have checked again: I have found out that the problem is with selectionStart, which only works with text, search, tel, url and password as you can look here.

@gabrielamarques That's interesting. Thanks for sharing this info. How about showing a numeric keyboard for a text input, is that possible? There's a question on StackOverflow about that http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6178556/phone-numeric-keyboard-for-text-input/37799101#37799101

Thanks for the quick reply. I found out Cleave.js is using <input type="tel"> on their demo site to show the numpad on mobile devices. Not the best, but seems to be the only working solution. If it's possible with text-mask too, it could be a good idea to add an example to the demo page.
