backdrop-filter property

The backdrop-filter property is used to apply a graphical effect to the area behind an element. To see the effect, the element or its background must be at least partially transparent.

CSS syntax : backdrop-filter: none | filter | initial | inherit;

Property values

none : default value. No filter is applied to the backdrop

filter : a space-separated list of filter-functions - like: blur(), brightness(), contrast(), drop-shadow(), grayscale(), hue-rotate(), invert(), opacity(), sepia(), saturate() - or an url to an SVG filter that will be applied to the backdrop.

initial : sets this property to its default value.

inherit : inherits this property from its parent element.

JavaScript syntax: object.style.backdropFilter="grayscale(100%)"
