For a project I'm currently working on involving a full screen styled Google Maps page, I am looking for a way (css, jQuery, or other options...) to overlay a header and slide-in sidebar with a blur effect similar to the iOS frosted/blur effect.
I am aiming to achieve something like the following example: Sample blurred header
The challenge I am facing is that I do not have control over what is beneath the header, and it constantly changes. This makes it impossible for me to use the 2 image trick to simulate a blurred background. Any suggestions or alternative approaches would be greatly appreciated!
