In light of the incorrect way to implement phone number fields on a website, I've created the correct way. A couple of questions, though.

Post Body

for (var i = 0; i < 9999; i  ) {
    var value = ("0000000000"   i).substr(-10, 10).replace(/(\d{3})(\d{3})(\d{4})/, '$1-$2-$3');
    $('#phone-number').append($('<option>', {
        value: value,
        text: value
    }));
}

I've created a fiddle so that you can see it first hand:

For some reason, when I increase the maximum phone number past 9999 (specifically, it should be 9999999999) it doesn't work. Thoughts or ideas?

THANK YOU
