I am wondering if there is some way to apply a gaussian blur onto a div using jQuery (or CSS that jQuery can modify). I have looked into blur(), but at least with Safari, it doesn't seem that it accomplishes what I'm looking for. If possible, I want to use fadeIn on the effect, so it blurs gradually.
Thanks for any help!
Be aware that Blur
is when a DOM-element, such as textboxes (inputs etc.) loses focus, and should not be mixed with the kind of blur you are talking about (gaussian/motion blur).
There is no good cross-browser solution for this problem. You can, however, blur images by using a API such as the one Ben suggests. Or by using this one.
Maybe if you find out a way to draw your div contents to a HTML5 canvas you can then apply the Blur-filter by using Pixastic?
Check out the blur.js plugin for jQuery: http://blurjs.com, it uses my Stack Blur algorithm which I believe is currently the fastest JavaScript based way to blur canvas elements: http://www.quasimondo.com/StackBlurForCanvas/StackBlurDemo.html
filter: blur(10px);
-webkit-filter: blur(10px);
-moz-filter: blur(10px);
-o-filter: blur(10px);
-ms-filter: blur(10px);
filter: url(blur.svg#blur);
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Blur(PixelRadius='10');
content of blur.svg
<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<filter id="blur">
<feGaussianBlur stdDeviation="10" />
</filter>
