}
.ex2 {
  caret-color: transparent;
} 
.ex3 {
  caret-color: orange;
}
  
</style>
</head>
<body>

<input value="Default caret color"></br>
<input class="ex1" value="Green caret color"></br>
<input class="ex2" value="Transparent caret color"></br>
<p contenteditable class="ex3">This paragraph can be edited. Its caret has an orange color.</p>
