Hi, You can use "translation" setting to achieve this. For example:

$('#hour_field').mask('AB:CD', {
    translation: {
      A: { pattern: /[1-2]/  },
      B: { pattern: /[0-4]/ },
      C: { pattern: /[0-5]/ },
      D: { pattern: /\d/ },
    }
  });

Hope this help!

Hi! Unfortunately, that's not the best way, cause it's possible to set 14:xx , but not possible to set 19:xx.

I think, the best solution will be callback and filter incorrect values on it

So the best solution right now is this I guess:

var options = {
	placeholder: 'hh:mm:ss',
	translation: {
		2: {pattern: /[0-2]/}, 
		3: {pattern: /[0-3]/}, 
		5: {pattern: /[0-5]/},
		9: {pattern: /[0-9]/}
	}, onKeyPress: function(cep, e, field, options) {
		var masks = ['23:59:59', '29:59:59'];
		var mask = (cep.charAt(0) !== '2') ? masks[1] : masks[0];
		field.mask(mask, options);
	}
};

$('.time').mask('23:59:59', options);

You can omit 9 and replace with 0, but this is more readable, at least for me. Also '29' is not a typo for '19', it is there because otherwise once You would put 1, You would never be able to write 2 again.
