[SOLVED] Input cursor that is blinking

Input cursor that is blinking

i am having trouble with making the input cursor to blink. How do you make an animation that the cursor "|" inside the input field (placeholder) keeps blinking. The code that i have is this:

<input type="text" class="rq-form-element" placeholder="|"/>

I have no idea on how to get this even started. Any suggestions?

Solution

Try this solution

.cursor {
  position: relative;
}

.cursor i {
  position: absolute;
  width: 1px;
  height: 80%;
  background-color: gray;
  left: 5px;
  top: 10%;
  animation-name: blink;
  animation-duration: 800ms;
  animation-iteration-count: infinite;
  opacity: 1;
}

.cursor input:focus+i {
  display: none;
}

@keyframes blink {
  from {
    opacity: 1;
  }

  to {
    opacity: 0;
  }
}

<div class="cursor">
  <input type="text" class="rq-form-element" />
  <i></i>
</div>
