Blur.js

blur.js is a jQuery plugin that produces psuedo-transparent blurred elements over other elements.

It provides two blur algorithms:

• StackBlur: slower, prettier
• StackBoxBlur: faster, uglier

Pick the best for your needs.

});

Defaults

$('.target').blurjs({
    source: 'body',		//Background to blur
    radius: 5,		//Blur Radius
    overlay: '',		//Overlay Color, follow CSS3's rgba() syntax
    offset: {		//Pixel offset of background-position
        x: 0,
        y: 0
    },
    optClass: '',		//Class to add to all affected elements
    cache: false,		//If set to true, blurred image will be cached and used in the future. If image is in cache already, it will be used.
    cacheKeyPrefix: 'blurjs-',	//Prefix to the keyname in the localStorage object
    draggable: false,	//Only used if jQuery UI is present. Will change background-position to fixed
    debug: false,		//put debug info in console
    useCss: true,		//Use <style>...</style> instead of inline styles. best for multiple targets
