I have not had much success finding how to style Google's new recaptcha (v2). The eventual goal is to make it responsive, but I am having difficulty applying styling for even simple things like width.
Their API documentation does not appear to give any specifics on how to control styling at all other than the theme parameter, and simple CSS & JavaScript solutions haven't worked for me.
Basically, I need to be able to apply CSS to Google's new version of reCaptcha. Using JavaScript with it is acceptable.
Overview:
Sorry to be the answerer of bad news, but after research and debugging, it's pretty clear that there is no way to customize the styling of the new reCAPTCHA controls. The controls are wrapped in an iframe, which prevents the use of CSS to style them, and Same-Origin Policy prevents JavaScript from accessing the contents, ruling out even a hacky solution.
Why No Customize API?:
Unlike reCAPTCHA API Version 1.0, there are no customize options in API Version 2.0. If we consider how this new API works, it's no surprise why.
Excerpt from Are you a robot? Introducing “No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA”:
While the new reCAPTCHA API may sound simple, there is a high degree of sophistication behind that modest checkbox. CAPTCHAs have long relied on the inability of robots to solve distorted text. However, our research recently showed that today’s Artificial Intelligence technology can solve even the most difficult variant of distorted text at 99.8% accuracy. Thus distorted text, on its own, is no longer a dependable test.
To counter this, last year we developed an Advanced Risk Analysis backend for reCAPTCHA that actively considers a user’s entire engagement with the CAPTCHA—before, during, and after—to determine whether that user is a human. This enables us to rely less on typing distorted text and, in turn, offer a better experience for users. We talked about this in our Valentine’s Day post earlier this year.
If you were able to directly manipulate the styling of the control elements, you could easily interfere with the user-profiling logic that makes the new reCAPTCHA possible.
What About a Custom Theme?:
Now the new API does offer a theme option, by which you can choose a preset theme such as light and dark. However there is not presently a way to create a custom theme. If we inspect the iframe, we will find the theme name is passed in the query string of the src attribute. This URL looks something like the following.
https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/anchor?...&theme=dark&...
This parameter determines what CSS class name is used on the wrapper element in the iframe and determines the preset theme to use.
Digging through the minified source, I found that there are actually 4 valid theme values, which is more than the 2 listed in the documentation, but default and standard are the same as light.
We can see the code that selects the class name from this object here.
There is no code for a custom theme, and if any other theme value is specified, it will use the standard theme.
In Conclusion:
At present, there is no way to fully style the new reCAPTCHA elements, only the wrapper elements around the iframe can be stylized. This was almost-certainly done intentionally, to prevent users from breaking the user profiling logic that makes the new captcha-free checkbox possible. It is possible that Google could implement a limited custom theme API, perhaps allowing you to choose custom colors for existing elements, but I would not expect Google to implement full CSS styling.
As guys mentioned above, there is no way ATM. but still if anyone interested, then by adding in just two lines you can at least make it look reasonable, if it break on any screen. you can assign different value in #media query.
<div id="recaptchaContainer" style="transform:scale(0.8);transform-origin:0 0"></div>
Hope this helps anyone :-).
I use below trick to make it responsive and remove borders. this tricks maybe hide recaptcha message/error.
This style is for rtl lang but you can change it easy.
.g-recaptcha {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
background: #f9f9f9;
overflow: hidden;
}
.g-recaptcha > * {
float: right;
right: 0;
margin: -2px -2px -10px;/*remove borders*/
}
.g-recaptcha::after{
display: block;
content: "";
position: absolute;
left:0;
right:150px;
top: 0;
bottom:0;
background-color: #f9f9f9;
clear: both;
}
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="Your Api Key"></div>
<script src='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?hl=fa'></script>
Unfortunately we cant style reCaptcha v2, but it is possible to make it look better, here is the code:
Click here to preview
.g-recaptcha-outer{
text-align: center;
border-radius: 2px;
background: #f9f9f9;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #37474f;
border-width: 1px;
border-bottom-width: 2px;
}
.g-recaptcha-inner{
width: 154px;
height: 82px;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.g-recaptcha{
position:relative;
left: -2px;
top: -1px;
}
<div class="g-recaptcha-outer">
<div class="g-recaptcha-inner">
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-size="compact" data-sitekey="YOUR KEY"></div>
</div>
</div>
Add a data-size property to the google recaptcha element and make it equal to "compact" in case of mobile.
Refer: google recaptcha docs
What you can do is to hide the ReCaptcha Control behind a div. Then make your styling on this div. And set the css "pointer-events: none" on it, so you can click through the div (Click through a DIV to underlying elements).
The checkbox should be in a place where the user is clicking.
You can recreate recaptcha , wrap it in a container and only let the checkbox visible. My main problem was that I couldn't take the full width so now it expands to the container width. The only problem is the expiration you can see a flick but as soon it happens I reset it.
See this demo http://codepen.io/alejandrolechuga/pen/YpmOJX

Great!
Now here is styling available for reCaptcha..
I just use inline styling like:
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" style="transform: scale(1.08); margin-left: 14px;"></div>
whatever you wanna to do small customize in inline styling...
Hope it will help you!!
I came across this answer trying to style the ReCaptcha v2 for a site that has a light and a dark mode. Played around some more and discovered that besides transform, filter is also applied to iframe elements so ended up using the default/light ReCaptcha and doing this when the user is in dark mode:
.g-recaptcha {
filter: invert(1) hue-rotate(180deg);
}
The hue-rotate(180deg) makes it so that the logo is still blue and the check-mark is still green when the user clicks it, while keeping white invert()'ed to black and vice versa.
Didn't see this in any answer or comment so decided to share even if this is an old thread.
Just adding a hack-ish solution to make it responsive.
Wrap the recaptcha in an extra div:
<div class="recaptcha-wrap">
<div id="g-recaptcha"></div>
</div>
Add styles. This assumes the dark theme.
// Recaptcha
.recaptcha-wrap {
position: relative;
height: 76px;
padding:1px 0 0 1px;
background:#222;
> div {
position: absolute;
bottom: 2px;
right:2px;
font-size:10px;
color:#ccc;
}
}
// Hides top border
.recaptcha-wrap:after {
content:'';
display: block;
background-color: #222;
height: 2px;
width: 100%;
top: -1px;
left: 0px;
position: absolute;
}
// Hides left border
.recaptcha-wrap:before {
content:'';
display: block;
background-color: #222;
height: 100%;
width: 2px;
top: 0;
left: -1px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
}
// Makes it responsive & hides cut-off elements
#g-recaptcha {
overflow: hidden;
height: 76px;
border-right: 60px solid #222222;
border-top: 1px solid #222222;
border-bottom: 1px solid #222;
position: relative;
box-sizing: border-box;
max-width: 294px;
}
This yields the following:
It will now resize horizontally, and doesn't have a border. The recaptcha logo would get cut off on the right, so I am hiding it with a border-right. It's also hiding the privacy and terms links, so you may want to add those back in.
I attempted to set a height on the wrapper element, and then vertically center the recaptcha to reduce the height. Unfortunately, any combo of overflow:hidden and a smaller height seems to kill the iframe.
in the V2.0 it's not possible. The iframe blocks all styling out of this. It's difficult to add a custom theme instead of the dark or light one.
Late to the party, but maybe my solution will help somebody.
I haven't found any solution that works on a responsive website when the viewport changes or the layout is fluid.
So I've created a jQuery script for django-cms that is dynamically adapting to a changing viewport.
I'm going to update this response as soon as I have the need for a modern variant of it that is more modular and has no jQuery dependency.

With the integration of the invisible reCAPTCHA you can do the following:
To enable the Invisible reCAPTCHA, rather than put the parameters in a div, you can add them directly to an html button.
a. data-callback=””. This works just like the checkbox captcha, but is required for invisible.
b. data-badge: This allows you to reposition the reCAPTCHA badge (i.e. logo and
‘protected by reCAPTCHA’ text) . Valid options as ‘bottomright’ (the default),
‘bottomleft’ or ‘inline’ which will put the badge directly above the button. If you
make the badge inline, you can control the CSS of the badge directly.
In case someone struggling with the recaptcha of contact form 7 (wordpress) here is a solution working for me
.wpcf7-recaptcha{
clear: both;
float: left;
}
.wpcf7-recaptcha{
margin-right: 6px;
width: 206px;
height: 65px;
overflow: hidden;
border-right: 1px solid #D3D3D3;
}
.wpcf7-recaptcha iframe{
padding-bottom: 15px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #D3D3D3;
background: #F9F9F9;
border-left: 1px solid #d3d3d3;
}
if you use scss, that worked for me:
.recaptcha > div{
transform: scale(0.84);
transform-origin: 0;
}
If someone is still interested, there is a simple javascript library (no jQuery dependency), named custom recaptcha. It lets you customize the button with css and implement some js events (ready/checked). The idea is to make the default recaptcha "invisible" and put a button over it. Just change the id of the recaptcha and that's it.

<script src="https://azentreprise.org/download/custom-recaptcha.min.js"></script>

I am just adding this kind of solution / quick fix so it won't get lost in case of a broken link.
Link to this solution "Want to add link How to resize the Google noCAPTCHA reCAPTCHA | The Geek Goddess" was provided by Vikram Singh Saini and simply outlines that you could use inline CSS to enforce framing of the iframe.
// Scale the frame using inline CSS
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-theme="light"
data-sitekey="XXXXXXXXXXXXX"
style="transform:scale(0.77);
-webkit-transform:scale(0.77);
transform-origin:0 0;
-webkit-transform-origin:0 0;
">
</div>
// Scale the images using a stylesheet
<style>
#rc-imageselect, .g-recaptcha {
transform:scale(0.77);
-webkit-transform:scale(0.77);
transform-origin:0 0;
-webkit-transform-origin:0 0;
}
</style>
You can use some CSS for Google reCAPTCHA v2 styling on your website:
– Change background, color of Google reCAPTCHA v2 widget:
.rc-anchor-light {
background: #fff!important;
color: #fff!important; }
or
.rc-anchor-normal{
background: #000 !important;
color: #000 !important; }
– Resize the Google reCAPTCHA v2 widget by using this snippet:
.rc-anchor-light {
transform:scale(0.9);
-webkit-transform:scale(0.9); }
– Responsive your Google reCAPTCHA v2:
#media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {
.rc-anchor-light {
transform:scale(0.85);
-webkit-transform:scale(0.85); }
}
All elements, property of CSS above that’s just for your reference. You can change them by yourself (only using CSS class selector).
Refer on OIW Blog - How To Edit CSS of Google reCAPTCHA (Re-style, Change Position, Resize reCAPTCHA Badge)
You can also find out Google reCAPTCHA v3's styling there.
A bit late but I tried this and it worked to make the Recaptcha responsive on screens smaller than 460px width. You can't use css selector to select elements inside the iframe. So, better use the outermost parent element which is the class g-recaptcha to basically zoom-out i.e transform the size of the entire container. Here's my code which worked:
#media(max-width:459.99px) {
.modal .g-recaptcha {
transform:scale(0.75);
-webkit-transform:scale(0.75); }
}
}
Incase someone wants to resize recaptcha for small devices.
I was using recaptcha V2 with primeng p-captcha (for angular). The issue was that for smaller screens it would go out of the screen.
Although you can't actually resize it (the external thing and all everyone has explained it above) but there is a way with transform property (scaling the the container)
this was my code below the way, I achieved it
p-captcha div div {
transform:scale(0.9) !important;
-webkit-transform:scale(0.9) !important;
transform-origin:0 0 !important;
-webkit-transform-origin:0 0 !important;
}
Other than p-captcha you can use this code snippet below
.g-recaptcha {
transform:scale(0.9);
transform-origin:0 0;
}

Topic is old, but I also wanted to scale the reCAPTCHA widget -- but to make it bigger for phone users, unlike many others who wanted it smaller. The only way that worked was transform: scale(x), but that seemed to make the widget too wide for my page, thus shrinking the rest of the form on the page. Using a container div as shown below fixed my problem, and hopefully it will help someone else who thinks a bigger version is better on a small screen.
<style>
:root {
/* factor to scale the Google widget in potrait mode (on a phone) */
--recaptcha-scale: 2;
}
#media screen and (orientation: portrait) {
/* needed to rein in the width of inner div when it is scaled */
#g_recaptcha_div_container {
width: calc(100vmin / var(--recaptcha-scale));
}
#g_recaptcha_div {
transform: scale(var(--recaptcha-scale));
transform-origin: 0 0;
}
#submit_button {
width: 65vmin;
height: 9vmin;
font-size: 7vmin;
/* needed to scoot the button out from under the scaled div */
margin-top: 10vmin;
}
}
</style>
<html>
<!-- top of form with a bunch of fields to create an acct -->
<div id="g_recaptcha_div_container">
<div id="g_recaptcha_div" class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="foo">
</div>
</div>
<input id="submit_button" type="submit" value="Create Account">

You can try to color it with this css filter hack:
.colorize-pink {
filter: brightness(0.5) sepia(1) hue-rotate(-70deg) saturate(5);
}
.colorize-navy {
filter: brightness(0.2) sepia(1) hue-rotate(180deg) saturate(5);
}
and for the size, use transform css hack
.captcha-size {
transform:scale(0.8);transform-origin:0 0
}
Lets play a little with JavaScript:
First at all, we know that recaptcha badget include all the shit from the most crazy people on Google, so you can only make changes with theme "dark" and "light" on your web.
Take a look to my website
SantiagoSoñora.
let recaptcha = document.querySelector('.g-recaptcha');
With this, you only can touch simple settings of the badge, like z-index and size, but no much more...
So far, i made two functions that set data-theme to light or dark mode at innit. Note that its neccessary assign the "light" because Google not include that by default.
function reCaptchaDark() {
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', (event) => {
recaptcha.setAttribute("data-theme", "dark");
})
}
function reCaptchaLight() {
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', (event) => {
recaptcha.setAttribute("data-theme", "light");
})
}
Then, for example, my web looks if user prefers a dark or a light theme, and set that configurations to the recaptcha bag:
(theme.onLoad = function() {
if (window.matchMedia && window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches) {
reCaptchaDark();
toggleTheme();
}
else {
reCaptchaLight();
}
})();
Note that my code for toggle from dark to light is on the toggleTheme() function.
Keep doing magic: You should configure a class on the html tag or something else on your web for made the change between dark and light theme, and with that we now modify the src on the iframe so when we toggle dark/light mode ,with our button it changes:
theme.onclick = function() {
toggleTheme();
if (html.classList.contains('dark')) {
recaptcha.setAttribute("data-theme", "dark");
setTimeout(function() {
let iframes = document.querySelectorAll('iframe');
iframes[0].src = iframes[0].src.replace('&theme=light', '&theme=dark');
}, 0);
}
else {
recaptcha.setAttribute("data-theme", "light");
setTimeout(function() {
let iframes = document.querySelectorAll('iframe');
iframes[0].src = iframes[0].src.replace('&theme=dark', '&theme=light');
}, 0);
}
}
And here you go, the recaptcha badge change from dark to light "preassigned" themes by Google bad guys.
And last but not least, a function that updates the page to change if your theme is dark by default.
This update the LocalStorage
(function() {
if( window.localStorage ) {
if( !localStorage.getItem('firstLoad') ) {
localStorage['firstLoad'] = true;
window.location.reload();
}
else
localStorage.removeItem('firstLoad');
}
})();
You can use the class .grecaptcha-badge for some css changes, like opacity and box-shadow, -> (use !important)
Thats all, hope you can implement on your site
I developed, using ng-show and ng-hide, a box of description that pops up under a text after I click it.
But the problem is, the decription box is not shown exactly under the text, like here in the picture.
I want the description to be shown exactly under R2A.
This is my code:
HTML
<ion-content>
<div class="contenu">
<p>Salut</font><font size="4">, Welcome</font><font size="4">, Bienvenue chez </font>R2A<font size="4">...</font></p>
<div ><font class="boxed" ng-show="collapsed"size="4" >I am description</font></div>
<p> Nous sommes ton equipe de Welcomers, nous allons t'accompagner pour ta première journée.</p>
</div>
</ion-content>
CSS
.collapsed {
width: 300px;
padding: 25px;
border: 25px solid navy;
margin: 25px;
}
.contenu .boxed {
display: inline-block;
padding:20px;
border-radius: 10px;
box-shadow: 5px 5px 10px #000;
background-color: #FBC02D;
}
First, transform the a into a button and you can put your boxed element inside your link.
Now, you can position the boxed element relative to the button element which contains the R2A text.
The boxedelement should have the position: absolute;, so it positions relative to the first ancestor which does not have the position static. Next, the button, which by default has the position static, should have the position: relative;. This means that it positions relative to its default position. If we don't specify top, left etc. the position remains the same. More here.
So, the html :
...
<button class="important-link" ng-model="collapsed" ng-click="collapsed=!collapsed">
<span>R2A</span>
<div class="boxed" ng-show="collapsed">
I am Description
</div>
</button>
...
And the css:
important-link {
position: relative;
background: none;
border: none;
}
.important-link span {
font-size: 30px;
color: #B9121B;
}
.boxed {
min-width: 100px;
position: absolute;
width: auto;
top: 50px;
padding: 20px;
border-radius: 10px;
box-shadow: 5px 5px 10px #000;
background-color: #FBC02D;
}
And here is a fiddle with the whole example.
PS. It's recommended not to use inline CSS in your HTML like style="font-size:180%; ..
Edit
So, if you don't want some kind of 'tooltip' effect there are two solutions.
In the first one, you add a margin-top to the next div, so that the description box doesn't overlap the text below. You can add it with ng-class on ng-style so the margin applies only if the description box is shown.
Second solution, inside the button element, both the text (R2A) and the description should be block elements, so that they position one under the other (block vs inline elements).
And then you remove the position: absolute from the boxed element (and you can also remove the position : relative; from the parent).
Here is the updated fiddle.
There are still some limitations in both solutions, so the one you choose depends on the final result.
You can also use JS to manipulate and position the elements of the DOM.
Just put both of these elements in a separate div element and add a break in between <br>:
<div>R2A
<font size="4">...</font></p>
<br>
<div>
<font class="boxed" ng-show="collapsed"size="4" >I am description</font>
</div>
</div>
Or put them in the same span.
You may have to fiddle around with the margins as well.
I have a search function that does 3 things:
1) first, when a user hover over the icon, it should change the icon, and the color of border around it as well:
HTML:
<div class="searchbox">
<img id="search" src="Icons/magnifier2.png"
onmouseover="this.src='Icons/magnifier.png'"
onmouseout="this.src='Icons/magnifier2.png'"/>
</div>
CSS:
.searchbox #search {
display: inline;
border: 2px solid #c8c8c8;
position: relative;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
float: right;
padding: 4px;
border-radius: 5px;
transition: all 500ms;
}
.searchbox #search:hover {
display: inline;
border: 2px solid #808080;
position: relative;
float: right;
padding: 4px;
border-radius: 5px;
transition: all 500ms;
}
So far so good. In this bit, im unsure why the image isnt applied any transition at all when hovered... Is there a way in which you can change color on a single .png icon, instead of juggling between two .pngs?
2) The user is supposed to click on this icon, whereafter it expands with a new icon and a changed border width (padding-left: 130px;). Here goes the following jQuery code:
$(function () {
var search = $("#search");
search.click(function () {
search.attr("src", "Icons/magnifier.png").css({
"border": "2px",
"border-style": "solid",
"border-color": "#808080",
"padding-left": "130px",
"transition": "all 500ms" });
});
});
3) When the user clicks on the HTML body, the border should slide back to normal position and apply the original CSS:
$('html').click(function (e) {
if (e.target.id != 'search') {
$("#search").attr("src", "Icons/magnifier2.png");
$("#search").removeAttr('style');;
}
});
My issue is, the HTML onmouseover/out shown in the top of my post, is still active when the function is fired upon clicking the icon.(if i place my mouse inside and outside the expanded border, it still changes the icon.)
My idea of an easy fix:
It would be a lot easier if the :hover parameter in the CSS could change both the color of the .png and the border, however i've been searching alot for this specific solution, and it doesnt seem to be available!
The second solution would be to add some kind of code in the jQuery, search.click(function() that deactivates the onmouseover/out and reactivates it in the 2'nd .click(function().
I hope im clear enough with my question.
How do i overcome this onmouseover/out issue?
I've added a jsfiddle just for you to see my example:

You can accomplish that using a CSS sprite. More reading is here: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_image_sprites.asp
Basically, you'd have one magnifier.png image that would have both states for the icon. Then you'd use some CSS to switch between them.
.searchbox {
background: url('magnifier.png') 0px 0px;
}
.searchbox:hover {
background: url('magnifier.png') 0px -25px;
}
In this example, you'd have a sprite image that was 25px by 50px, with each state of the image being 25px by 25px.
Hope that helps!
Edit to add: Here is a JS Fiddle Example so you can see how it works:
https://jsfiddle.net/s51zjre4/1/
I am trying to create a div and show a timeout message in there. But it actually distorts other parts of Page. For eg see below. Session Timed out is the div with the message.
Now I don't want this to happen. PFB the JQuery code I am using to create this Div
function ShowSessionTimeOutDiv() {
var styler = document.createElement("div");
styler.setAttribute("style","font-size:15px;width:auto;height:auto;top:50%;left:40%;color:red;");
styler.innerHTML = "<b><i>Session TimedOut, Please refresh the Page</i></b>";
document.body.appendChild(styler);
var currentDiv = $('#GoToRequestControl1_UpdatePanel1').get(0);
currentDiv.parentNode.insertBefore(styler,currentDiv) ;
}
Am I missing something here? The Part in which this div is being displayed is coming from Master Page.
Have you tried the position:fixed styling on it in css, i did that on one of my websites and it didn't distort anything.
A page has a natural flow of its elements based on the default display rules specified by the W3C. When you add a div in between other elements it naturally affects the layout of the page; the positions of the other elements.
In order to drop in a new element without it affecting other elements you have to either reserve space for it, or take it out of the normal page flow.
There are a couple of ways to take an element out of the flow — you can float it, float:left or float:right, which is great, for example, to stack blocks on the left (instead of top-down) and let them wrap to new rows as available width changes. Using a flex layout gives you a lot of control also. But in this case of one thing popping up, changing the positioning of the new element is the most straightforward and can let you put the block exactly where you want it.
I have a demonstration and full explanation in a fiddle showing several examples along the way to getting what you want.
Basically, styling is needed to reposition the timeout message element that you're inserting. Styling is better done with CSS styles, compared to adding a bunch of inline styles. If I put my timeout popup message in a "messagebox" I can make a class for it.
/* Your styles, plus a couple extra to make the example stand out better */
div.messagebox {
font-size: 16px;
width: auto;
height: auto;
top: 40%;
left: 30%;
background-color: white;
border: 2px solid black;
}
Likewise, style the message itself with a class, instead of using inline styles and the deprecated presentational tags <b> and <i>.
/* I want the message in a messagebox to be bold-italic-red text. */
div.messagebox .message {
color: red;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: bold;
}
The big difference is that we will change the positioning of the element from the default static to instead use absolute positioning:
/* I don't really recommend a class called "positioned".
A class should describe the kind of thing the element *is*
not how it *looks*
*/
div.messagebox.positioned {
position: absolute;
width: 40%;
padding: 1.5em;
}
/* The container of the positioned element also has to be positioned.
We position it "relative" but don't move it from its natural position.
*/
section#hasposition {
position: relative;
}
The term "absolute" is tricky to learn ... the element being positioned is given an absolute position within its container, in a sense it's positioned relative to its container... but what position:relative means is relative to its own natural position, so it's easy to get confused at first over whether you want absolute or relative positioning.
Putting it all together, we have some basic HTML that represents major portions of a page — a real page will have far more, but those should be contained within some top-level containers. This shows only those top-level containers.
Then we have some javascript that will add the new element at the appropriate time. Here I just call the function to add it after a delay created with setTimeout(). I'm using full-on jQuery since you're using some in your example, and it makes the javascript more portable and more concise.
function ShowSessionTimeoutStyled() {
var styler = $('<div>').addClass('messagebox').addClass('positioned');
styler.html('<span class="message">The Session Timed Out</span>');
$('#hasposition .above').after(styler);
}
// wait 6 seconds then add the new div
setTimeout(ShowSessionTimeoutStyled, 6000);
div.messagebox {
font-size: 16px;
width: auto;
height: auto;
top: 20%;
left: 20%;
background-color: white;
border: 2px solid black;
}
div.messagebox .message {
color: red;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: bold;
}
div.messagebox.positioned {
position: absolute;
width: 40%;
padding: 1.5em;
}
section#hasposition {
position: relative;
}
/* also style some of the basic parts so you can see them better in the demonstration */
section.explanation {
margin: 1em 0.5em;
padding: 0.5em;
border: 1px solid gray;
}
.demonstration {

I highly recommend the site Position Is Everything for articles and tutorials on positioning. Some of its other content is outdated — who needs to make PNGs to do drop-shadows any more? — but the way positioning works hasn't changed.
When you open this page (see Live demo) with Chrome :
<span id="myspan" contenteditable=true></span>
CSS :
#myspan { border: 0; outline: 0;}
JS :
$(myspan).focus();
the contenteditable span has focus (you can start to write things and you will see that it already had focus), but we don't see the "I" edit cursor.
How to make that this cursor is displayed ? (Remark : outline:0 is needed, as well as the fact that the span is empty even with no white space).
Note : With Firefox, the cursor is displayed.
The problem is that spans are inline elements. Just add display:block; to your CSS and it will fix the problem.
$(myspan).focus();
#myspan {
border: 0;
outline: 0;
display: block;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<span id="myspan" contenteditable=true></span>
I added padding to the left and the cursor appears.
#myspan
{
border: 0;
outline: 0;
min-width: 100px;
height: 30px;
padding-left: 1px;
}
Demo in jsFiddle
.cont_edit {
outline: 1px solid transparent;
}
This just has to do with the way an empty ContentEditable area is rendered. To prove it's not about the focus, add some text to your editable div, and then delete it. When the last character is gone, the cursor will disappear
From the question Setting the caret position to an empty node inside a contentEditable element
The selection/range model is based around indexes into text content, disregarding element boundaries. I believe it may be impossible to set the input focus inside an inline element with no text in it. Certainly with your example I cannot set focus inside the last element by clicking or arrow keys.
It almost works if you set each span to display: block, though there's still some highly strange behaviour, dependent on the existence of whitespace in the parent. Hacking the display to look inline with tricks like float, inline-block and absolute position make IE treat each element as a separate editing box. Relative-positioned block elements next to each other work, but that's probably impractical.
You could also try adding a zero-width character like
document.getElementById('myspan').focus();
#myspan {
border: 0;
outline: 0;
}
<span id="myspan" contenteditable="true"></span>
The solution was to change <span> to <div> (I've seen that this solves many contenteditable problems in other questions here and there) + to add a min-width.
Indeed, with the following code, the size of the <div> would be 0px x 18px ! That explains why the caret (edit cursor) would be hidden !
HTML
<div id="blah" contenteditable=true></div>
CSS
#blah {
outline: 0;
position: absolute;
top:10px;
left:10px;
}
JS
$("#blah").focus();
Then, adding
min-width: 2px;
in the CSS will allow the caret to be displayed, even with Chrome : http://jsfiddle.net/38e9mkf4/2/
The issue I faced on Chrome v89.0.4389.90 was that contenteditable fields would sometimes show the blinking caret on focusin and sometimes not. I noticed it always blinks when there's already content in the field before focusing. It's when there's no content that the sometimes will/won't behavior occurs.
At first, I thought there must be some conflicting event handler that's erratically taking focus away. I disabled all my event binds and timers. Still the same erratic behavior. Then I thought it might be some conflicting CSS, so I disabled all stylesheets. At least now the behavior was consistent: the caret blinks 100% of the time when the field has content; the caret does not blink 100% of the time when the field has no content.
I enabled binds and stylesheets again. My div was already set to display: block; with min-width, min-height, and padding set in the final computed style set. None of the other answers here worked. I do have a placeholder on :empty:before that was a possible culprit. I commented that out. Now the behavior was consistent again, same as if the stylesheet was off. Oddly enough, the runnable snippet on SO works with the same computed CSS stack. I want to keep the placeholder, so it requires further research with my actual codebase...
The only solution I could get to work 100% of the time with my current issue involved forcibly placing the caret inside empty fields by creating a blank space and removing it immediately afterwards. Best I can do for a workaround until debugging the root cause.
//force caret to blink inside masks
let force_caret = function() {
if (!this.textContent) {
this.textContent = ' ';
let r = document.createRange(),
s = window.getSelection();
r.setStart(this.childNodes[0], 0);
r.collapse(true);
s.removeAllRanges();
s.addRange(r);
this.textContent = '';
}
}
//binds
let els = document.querySelectorAll("[contenteditable]");
for (let i = 0; i < els.length; i++) {
els[i].addEventListener('focusin', force_caret, false);
}

<div maxlength="5" contenteditable="true" class="mask"></div>
</div>
Add a CSS style of
min-height: 15px;
you may also need
display: block;
to your contenteditable="true" tag
For me setting it content of contenteditable div to <br> works. I tried setting it to nbsp; but that creates extra character space in the div before i start editing. So, i choose this:
<div id="blah" contenteditable=true><br></div>
over:
<div id="blah" contenteditable=true>nbsp;</div>
Hope this helps.
I use Chrome and your Code works fine.
Try to use cursor: text; in your CSS. See here
