Remarks
Values are rounded up to the second decimal place.
Each animation-delay property is paired with a corresponding animation-name property.
If more animation-delay values are declared than corresponding animation-name values, the excess animation-delay values are ignored.
If fewer animation-delay values are declared than corresponding animation-name values, the list of animation-delay values is repeated from the beginning until the animation-name values are exhausted.
Do not use the Microsoft vendor prefix ("-ms-") before the CSS animations properties. They are supported unprefixed in Internet Explorer 10 and later.
