Text blinking jQuery

Question

What is an easy way to make text blinking in jQuery and a way to stop it? Must work for IE, FF and Chrome. Thanks

Seeing the number of views on this question, and the lack of answers that cover both blinking and stopping it, here goes: try jQuery.blinker out (demo).

HTML:

Hello there!

JavaScript:

var p = $("p");

p.blinker();

p.bind({
    // pause blinking on mouseenter
    mouseenter: function(){
        $(this).data("blinker").pause();
    },
    // resume blinking on mouseleave
    mouseleave: function(){
        $(this).data("blinker").blinkagain();
    }
});
