How do i prevent the textbox cursor from blinking throu a overlayed DIV under IE8?

Question

this occurs only under IE8, FireFox hides the cursor as you would expect. the DIV in question has a absolut position and z-index: 2 (increasing the z-index does not help)

just removing the focus from the textbox is not a desired solution.

Answer 1

i don't think you can control that. remove the focus from that text field or change the div's background-color so the cursor isn't visible (which would be black... maybe not very beautiful...)
