这是根据安迪?

这将执行一个任务，例如每30秒刷新一次页面， 但前提是页面是可见的和集中的。

如果无法检测到可见性，则只使用焦点。

如果用户聚焦页面，那么它将立即更新

页面直到ajax调用后30秒才会再次更新

var windowFocused = true;
var timeOut2 = null;

$(function(){
  $.ajaxSetup ({
    cache: false
  });
  $("#content").ajaxComplete(function(event,request, settings){
       set_refresh_page(); // ajax call has just been made, so page doesn't need updating again for 30 seconds
   });
  // check visibility and focus of window, so as not to keep updating unnecessarily
  (function() {
      var hidden, change, vis = {
              hidden: "visibilitychange",
              mozHidden: "mozvisibilitychange",
              webkitHidden: "webkitvisibilitychange",
              msHidden: "msvisibilitychange",
              oHidden: "ovisibilitychange" /* not currently supported */
          };
      for (hidden in vis) {
          if (vis.hasOwnProperty(hidden) && hidden in document) {
              change = vis[hidden];
              break;
          }
      }
      document.body.className="visible";
      if (change){     // this will check the tab visibility instead of window focus
          document.addEventListener(change, onchange,false);
      }

      if(navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
         window.onfocus = document.onfocusin = document.onfocusout = onchangeFocus
      else
         window.onfocus = window.onblur = onchangeFocus;

      function onchangeFocus(evt){
        evt = evt || window.event;
        if (evt.type == "focus" || evt.type == "focusin"){
          windowFocused=true; 
        }
        else if (evt.type == "blur" || evt.type == "focusout"){

        if (evt.type == "focus"){
          update_page();  // only update using window.onfocus, because document.onfocusin can trigger on every click

      }

      function onchange () {

function set_refresh_page(interval){
  interval = typeof interval !== 'undefined' ? interval : 30000; // default time = 30 seconds
  if(timeOut2 != null) clearTimeout(timeOut2);

我开始使用社区维基答案，但意识到它没有检测alt-tab事件在Chrome。这是因为它使用了第一个可用的事件源，在这种情况下，它是页面可见性API，在Chrome中似乎不跟踪alt-tab。

我决定稍微修改一下脚本，以跟踪页面焦点更改的所有可能事件。这是一个你可以放入的函数:

function onVisibilityChange(callback) {
    var visible = true;

    if (!callback) {
        throw new Error('no callback given');
    }

    function focused() {
        if (!visible) {
            callback(visible = true);
        }
    }

    function unfocused() {
        if (visible) {
            callback(visible = false);
        }
    }

    // Standards:
    if ('hidden' in document) {
        visible = !document.hidden;
        document.addEventListener('visibilitychange',
            function() {(document.hidden ? unfocused : focused)()});
    }
    if ('mozHidden' in document) {
        visible = !document.mozHidden;
        document.addEventListener('mozvisibilitychange',
            function() {(document.mozHidden ? unfocused : focused)()});
    }
    if ('webkitHidden' in document) {
        visible = !document.webkitHidden;
        document.addEventListener('webkitvisibilitychange',
            function() {(document.webkitHidden ? unfocused : focused)()});
    }
    if ('msHidden' in document) {
        visible = !document.msHidden;
        document.addEventListener('msvisibilitychange',
            function() {(document.msHidden ? unfocused : focused)()});
    }
    // IE 9 and lower:
    if ('onfocusin' in document) {
        document.onfocusin = focused;
        document.onfocusout = unfocused;
    }
    // All others:
    window.onpageshow = window.onfocus = focused;
    window.onpagehide = window.onblur = unfocused;
};

像这样使用它:

onVisibilityChange(function(visible) {
    console.log('the page is now', visible ? 'focused' : 'unfocused');
});

该版本监听所有不同的可见性事件，并在其中任何事件导致更改时触发回调。焦点处理程序和非焦点处理程序确保如果多个api捕捉到相同的可见性更改，不会多次调用回调。

在GitHub上有一个简洁的库:

https://github.com/serkanyersen/ifvisible.js

例子:

// If page is visible right now
if( ifvisible.now() ){
  // Display pop-up
  openPopUp();
}

我已经在我拥有的所有浏览器上测试了1.0.1版本，并可以确认它适用于:

的问世,IE9 FF 26.0 Chrome 34.0

．.． 可能还有所有更新的版本。

不完全适用于:

IE8 -总是指示标签/窗口当前是活跃的(.now()总是为我返回true)

从最初编写这个答案开始，由于W3C，一个新的规范已经达到了推荐状态。页面可见性API(在MDN上)现在允许我们更准确地检测页面何时对用户隐藏。

document.addEventListener("visibilitychange", onchange);

当前浏览器支持:

铬13 + Internet Explorer 10+ Firefox 10 + Opera 12.10+[阅读笔记]

下面的代码在不兼容的浏览器中退回到不太可靠的模糊/聚焦方法:

(function() {
  var hidden = "hidden";

  // Standards:
  if (hidden in document)
    document.addEventListener("visibilitychange", onchange);
  else if ((hidden = "mozHidden") in document)
    document.addEventListener("mozvisibilitychange", onchange);
  else if ((hidden = "webkitHidden") in document)
    document.addEventListener("webkitvisibilitychange", onchange);
  else if ((hidden = "msHidden") in document)
    document.addEventListener("msvisibilitychange", onchange);
  // IE 9 and lower:
  else if ("onfocusin" in document)
    document.onfocusin = document.onfocusout = onchange;
  // All others:
  else
    window.onpageshow = window.onpagehide
    = window.onfocus = window.onblur = onchange;

  function onchange (evt) {
    var v = "visible", h = "hidden",
        evtMap = {
          focus:v, focusin:v, pageshow:v, blur:h, focusout:h, pagehide:h
        };

    evt = evt || window.event;
    if (evt.type in evtMap)
      document.body.className = evtMap[evt.type];
    else
      document.body.className = this[hidden] ? "hidden" : "visible";
  }

  // set the initial state (but only if browser supports the Page Visibility API)
  if( document[hidden] !== undefined )
    onchange({type: document[hidden] ? "blur" : "focus"});
})();

ie9及以下版本需要onfocusin和onfocusout，而所有其他都使用onfocus和onblur，除了iOS，它使用onpageshow和onpagehide。

有3种典型的方法来确定用户是否可以看到HTML页面，但是没有一种方法是完美的:

The W3C Page Visibility API is supposed to do this (supported since: Firefox 10, MSIE 10, Chrome 13). However, this API only raises events when the browser tab is fully overriden (e.g. when the user changes from one tab to another one). The API does not raise events when the visibility cannot be determined with 100% accuracy (e.g. Alt+Tab to switch to another application). Using focus/blur based methods gives you a lot of false positive. For example, if the user displays a smaller window on top of the browser window, the browser window will lose the focus (onblur raised) but the user is still able to see it (so it still need to be refreshed). See also http://javascript.info/tutorial/focus Relying on user activity (mouse move, clicks, key typed) gives you a lot of false positive too. Think about the same case as above, or a user watching a video.

为了改善上面描述的不完美行为，我使用了三种方法的组合:W3C可视性API，然后是焦点/模糊和用户活动方法，以降低假阳性率。这允许管理以下事件:

将浏览器选项卡更改为另一个选项卡(100%的准确性，感谢W3C页面可见性API) 页面可能被另一个窗口隐藏，例如，由于Alt+Tab(概率=不是100%准确) 用户的注意力可能不会集中在HTML页面上(概率=不是100%准确)

This is how it works: when the document lose the focus, the user activity (such as mouse move) on the document is monitored in order to determine if the window is visible or not. The page visibility probability is inversely proportional to the time of the last user activity on the page: if the user makes no activity on the document for a long time, the page is most probably not visible. The code below mimics the W3C Page Visibility API: it behaves the same way but has a small false positive rate. It has the advantage to be multibrowser (tested on Firefox 5, Firefox 10, MSIE 9, MSIE 7, Safari 5, Chrome 9).

由于目前还没有有效的跨浏览器解决方案，所以在禁用网站上的周期性活动时最好三思而后行。

对于没有jQuery的解决方案，请参阅Visibility.js，它提供了关于三个页面状态的信息

visible    ... page is visible
hidden     ... page is not visible
prerender  ... page is being prerendered by the browser

以及setInterval的方便包装器

/* Perform action every second if visible */
Visibility.every(1000, function () {
    action();
});

/* Perform action every second if visible, every 60 sec if not visible */
Visibility.every(1000, 60*1000, function () {
    action();
});

旧版浏览器(IE < 10;iOS < 7)也可用
