Question

This doesn’t seem to happen automatically when using a text area, but does when using text fields.

For example, after a successful ajax request, I do stuff, and on the last line of my code, I apply focus to the text area.

$('textarea').focus();

This causes the cursor to show, but it doesn’t blink as expected until I click in the textarea myself.

Is this default behaviour and is there a way to get the behaviour I want, i.e. make the cursor blink?

Kind regards

Probably the styling is set to show no cursor.
Take a look here for examples and try to add it to your CSS for the input tag
