Need jquery blinking text to only blink for a period of 8 seconds, then stop
<p>I need to stop flashing text after 8 seconds. Everything is working perfectly except being able to stop it after the 8 seconds. I am new to this, need help...</p>

<p>Here is code that I am using, please give suggestions or add to this code what I need for it to stop after 8 seconds : </p>

<pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.1.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

&lt;div id="msg"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="red"&gt;text example&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;script type="text/javascript" &gt;
function blink(selector){
$(selector).fadeOut('slow', function(){
$(this).fadeIn('slow', function(){
blink(this);
});
});
}

blink('#msg');
&lt;/script&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Thanks </p>
