Create Loop Animation with JavaScript

Sometimes we need create a loop animation, of course, we could implement it with other plugins, we could also use oringinal JavaScript :

demo.html

...
<div class="animation">
 ...
</div> 

<div class="start"></div> // start button
<div class="stop"></div> // end button
...

demo.js

var internal; // this is for stop animation manually

Jquery('.start').on('click', function() {
 var end_status = {opacity:'0.5'}; // end status of one animation
 internal = setInterval(function() {
 $('.animation').animate(css_chison_robot, 200, function() {
 if(end_status.opacity==='0.5') end_status.opacity = '1'; // after one animation end, back to start status 
 else end_status.opacity='0.5';
 })
 }, 200);
})

Jquery('.stop').on('click', function() {
 clearInterval(internal);
 $('.animation').animate({
 opacity:'1' // after manully stop, status should be reset
 });
}
