我为我的应用程序创建了一个Comet Chat，当我收到来自我使用的另一个用户的消息时:

if(new_message){
    if(!document.hasFocus()){
        audio.play();
        document.title="Have new messages";
    }
    else{
        audio.stop();
        document.title="Application Name";
    } 
}

var visibilityChange = (function (window) {
    var inView = false;
    return function (fn) {
        window.onfocus = window.onblur = window.onpageshow = window.onpagehide = function (e) {
            if ({focus:1, pageshow:1}[e.type]) {
                if (inView) return;
                fn("visible");
                inView = true;
            } else if (inView) {
                fn("hidden");
                inView = false;
            }
        };
    };
}(this));

visibilityChange(function (state) {
    console.log(state);
});

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)

我重读了@daniel-buckmaster的版本 我没有做多次尝试，但是，代码对我来说似乎更优雅…

// on-visibility-change.js v1.0.1, based on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1060008/is-there-a-way-to-detect-if-a-browser-window-is-not-currently-active#38710376
function onVisibilityChange(callback) {
    let d = document;
    let visible = true;
    let prefix;
    if ('hidden' in d) {
        prefix = 'h';
    } else if ('webkitHidden' in d) {
        prefix = 'webkitH';
    } else if ('mozHidden' in d) {
        prefix = 'mozH';
    } else if ('msHidden' in d) {
        prefix = 'msH';
    } else if ('onfocusin' in d) { // ie 9 and lower
        d.onfocusin = focused;
        d.onfocusout = unfocused;
    } else { // others
        window.onpageshow = window.onfocus = focused;
        window.onpagehide = window.onblur = unfocused;
    };
    if (prefix) {
        visible = !d[prefix + 'idden'];
        d.addEventListener(prefix.substring(0, prefix.length - 1) + 'visibilitychange', function() {
            (d[prefix + 'idden'] ? unfocused : focused)();
        });
    };

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

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

这在chrome 67和firefox 67上都适用，

if(!document.hasFocus()) {
    // do stuff
}

在HTML 5中，你也可以使用:

onpageshow:当窗口变得可见时运行的脚本 onpagehide:当窗口隐藏时运行的脚本
