SVG blur effect syntax

Note: Internet Explorer and Safari do not support SVG filters!

All Internet SVG filters are defined in the <defs> element. The <defs> element definition is short and contains definitions for special elements (such as filters).

The<filter> tag is used to define SVG filters.
