Here are a couple of great scripts for formatting phone numbers in CRM 4.0 that were posted as a responses to the East Region Microsoft CRM Blog.

/* This code formats the phone number, allowing up to a 5 digit extension to be displayed on the same line. The following code example shows how to format basic U.S. phone numbers. This method supports 7-digit and 10-digit numbers, for example, (410) 555-1212.*/

// Get the field that fired the event.
var oField = event.srcElement;

// Validate the field information.
if (oField.DataValue != "undefined" && oField.DataValue != null)
{
// Remove any nonnumeric characters.
var sTmp = oField.DataValue.replace(/[^0-9]/g, "");
// If the number has a valid length, format the number.
switch (sTmp.length)
{
case "4105551212".length:
   oField.DataValue = "(" + sTmp.substr(0, 3) + ") " + sTmp.substr(3, 3) + "-" + sTmp.substr(6, 4);
   break;
case "5551212".length:
   oField.DataValue = sTmp.substr(0, 3) + "-" + sTmp.substr(3, 4);
   break;
case "41055512121".length:
   oField.DataValue = "(" + sTmp.substr(0,3) + ") " + sTmp.substr(3,3) + "-" + sTmp.substr(6,4) + " ext." + sTmp.substr(10,1);
   break;
case "410555121212".length:
   oField.DataValue = "(" + sTmp.substr(0,3) + ") " + sTmp.substr(3,3) + "-" + sTmp.substr(6,4) + " ext." + sTmp.substr(10,2);
