jQuery plugin by Daniel Rapp to fill any element with background noise. Uses <canvas> to create, then turns it into an image and sets a repeating background-image. Even if you’d be against using this on a production site, it’s still a clever programatic way to accomplish this common design need. Plus you could always just snag a screenshot of the noise and use that in production.
