How do I make the text input box cursor blink automatically when the page loads?

I want the cursor/line thing in the text box to automatically start blinking when the page loads. I've tried 

contentEditable="true"

but that's not working

In HTML5, you can simply use the input autofocus attribute.

However, beware that this does not work in some versions of IE.

You have to set focus on the text box.

This can be done either by

JavaScript document.getElementById("fname").focus();

or

Jquery $( "#fname" ).focus();

or

HTML5 <input type="text" name="fname" autofocus />
