我会使用jQuery，因为这样你所要做的就是:

$(window).blur(function(){
  //your code here
});
$(window).focus(function(){
  //your code
});

至少对我有用。

简单的/立即检查:

if(document.hidden) {
  // do something
}

可见性变化事件:

document.addEventListener("visibilitychange", function() {
  console.log(document.visibilityState); // "hidden" or "visible"
}, false);

基于承诺的事件:

// An `await`able function that resolves when page visibility changes:
function visibilityChange(state="") {
  return new Promise(resolve => {
    document.addEventListener("visibilitychange", function() {
      if(!state || document.visibilityState === state) { 
        resolve(document.visibilityState);
        document.removeEventListener("visibilitychange", arguments.callee);
      }
    });
  });
}

// Use it like this:
await visibilityChange();
console.log(document.visibilityState);

// Or wait for page to become...
await visibilityChange("visible");
await visibilityChange("hidden");

(注:后两个解是我加到这个答案里的，因为这个问题现在已经结束了，我不能加我自己的答案。以防有人认为我抄袭了那篇文章而没有注明出处。)

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);
        };
    };
};

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

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";
    } 
}

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。
