I'm working on a web app for folks with brain injuries. I'd like to make the cursor in the textbox more noticeable than a think blinking line.
Is there a way to make it larger?

If the textbox just has a single line, it's simpler but if it is multiline, I think it's not easy to have an elegant solution. – King King Sep 15 '14 at 15:30

2@HashemQolami I think he meant about the **caret** blinking in a focused textbox (text input field), not the mouse cursor. – King King Sep 15 '14 at 15:31

@KingKing Ah.. my bad. – Hashem Qolami Sep 15 '14 at 15:32

@RobertKoritnik read carefully: *"...in the textbox more noticeable than a thin blinking line."* – Roko C. Buljan Sep 15 '14 at 15:44

@RokoC.Buljan: I know what he meant. What I'm after is OP to edit their post and ask accurate questions. – Robert Koritnik Sep 15 '14 at 15:47

This isn't naively possible/reliable on all browsers as it's controlled by the OS. I would suggest a help doc of sorts that links your users to modify their system so that not only yours, but all websites, are easier for them to navigate.

1So your answer is basically identical to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6240735/how-to-modify-the-caret-with-css which makes me think we should close this question – Roko C. Buljan Sep 15 '14 at 15:50
