    Check the <html>, <body>, or any other parent containers for the presence of the contenteditable attribute.

    Here is an example where the content of every element is editable, and a text cursor will appear.

    <body contenteditable="true">
  <header>
    <h1>Click this title</h1>
  </header>
  <main>
    <h2>Click this heading</h2>
    <p>Click this paragraph</p>
  </main>
  <footer>
    <p>Click this footer</p>
  </footer>
<body>

    Is it possible you have Windows Narrator turned on?

    Pressing F7 should stop the caret browsing.
