The normal way: a blinking caret appears.

Because instead of "until user agents" it should, if anything, say "unless the user agents you're targetting don't support it". You yourself said that this issue keeps coming up even with new user agents. By that reasonining, the "until user agents" would never be fulfilled, and this would detract from progress, no? > If Noscript were used properly, > it would be a magnificent thing for all kinds of reasons. Rather than DOM-scripting based progressive enhancements? -- Patrick H.
