change the cursor style in an input text box?

[plectrum]

Hi,
Is it possible to change the cursor style in an input text field from thin vertical line into solid blinking block? Does CSS support this style?

Thx,

You could try defining your own cursor, and implement it using the url() syntax of CSS, but I'm not sure how widely supported this is.

Hope this helps,
Dan

To further Dan's post, you can use this gracefully:

<style type="text/css">
input {
  cursor: url("first.cur"), url("second.cur"), text;
}
</style>

Which works the same as the font declaration. If the former cursors cannot be used for some reason, it will degrade to the generic one. List of available generic cursors is here:

onfocus="this.style.cursor = 'hand';" also works for instance, don't know the blink off hand.
