How to display blinking curosor in a div

[321web]

Is it possible to show a blinking cursor where someone clicks in a div just like it would normally behave in a textarea?

Not with HTML. You might fake something with JavaScript, perhaps.

Can we move this question?

How does tinymce do it?

works in IE:

<div contentEditable="true">test</div>

That is pretty cool... is there anything that is cross browser compatible?

It also works in FireFox 3 (FireFox 2 does not support this AFAIK) and Google Chrome (I have no other browsers installed), but real cross-browser is another story...

It works in Opera, too (although you may need to click on the element before the cursor becomes visible).

This isn't HTML, though, since contentEditable isn't declared in any official HTML DTD.
