Insertion caret or text input cursor generally refers to a flashing, thin vertical line. It functions in an input field to indicate where the next character typed will be inserted.
If you wish to hide this input cursor from input fields in your webpage, the caret-color property of CSS is used. It has three property values including auto, color, and transparent. In this article, we’ll focus on the transparent value.
Syntax:
caret-color: transparent;
Example: The following example hides the text input cursor using CSS.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Hide insertion caret</title>
<style>
body {
text-align: center;
}
.hidden {
caret-color: transparent;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2 style="color:green;">Welcome To GFG</h2>
<h2> Visible Input Text Cursor </h2>
<input type="text"><br><br>
<h2> Hidden Input Text Cursor Using
<b>transparent</b> value
</h2>
<input type="text" class="hidden">
</body>
</html>
|
Output:
