stop cursor blinking on web page

Question

When I click on web page the cursor start blinking and adjust its height according to table size. I want to stop that blinking. Is there any solution?

You mean the text cursor? I doubt very much you can do anything about that I'm afraid. — Pekka, Feb 22 '11 at 12:33

Brilliant! That blinking cursor was bugging me and I assumed it was due to a recent Chrome update, so it's good to know it's as simple as an F7. – Vincent Nov 25 '19 at 18:16
Wow, I've been stuck at this for days now. They should put a mark on the screen so we know something is going on. Thanks. – Bamdad Jul 13 '21 at 05:37

I'm fairly sure there is no way to influence the blinking behaviour of the text cursor. This is entirely up to the browser and the operating system.

Here is a (very kludgy IMO) approach to hiding the text cursor altogether: Hide textfield blinking cursor
