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

This is what ended up working best for me. I used jQuery fadeTo because this is on WordPress, which already links jQuery in. Otherwise, I probably would have opted for something with pure JavaScript before adding another http request for a plugin.

$(document).ready(function() {
    // One "blink" takes 1.5s
    setInterval(function(){
        // Immediately fade to opacity: 0 in 0ms
        $(".cursor").fadeTo( 0, 0);
        // Wait .75sec then fade to opacity: 1 in 0ms
        setTimeout(function(){
            $(".cursor").fadeTo( 0, 1);
        }, 750);
    }, 1500);
});
