Change the cursor with JQuery

Occasionally I use JQueryUI components to display dialogs and I like to set the cursor to the 'timer' when the event is triggered and back to 'auto' afterwards. Here's how to change the cursor with JQuery.

$('body').css('cursor', 'wait');

To set it back:

$('body').css('cursor', 'auto');
