Currency formatting questions

[jwright04]

Hello,

I'm really close in configuring my inputmask but needed a push across the finish line. I have the following:

$("#mask-carAmount").inputmask({
            alias: 'currency',
            jitMasking: true,
            unmaskAsNumber: true,
            showMaskOnFocus: true,
            rightAlign: false,
            unmaskAsNumber: true,
            digits: "0"
});

This almost gives me desired behavior. But I need help with the following:

1. My placeholder text from my input field does not show
2. The cursor appears on the left hand side of the $ sign until the input is clicked, then it jumps to the right

Can someone provide detail to fix these issues?

@jwright04 ,

Try removing the jitMasking option.
