这是对奥哈德·纳冯的回答的一点补充。

如果元素的中心属于另一个元素，我们就找不到它。

为了确保元素的其中一个点是可见的

function isElementVisible(elem) {
    if (!(elem instanceof Element)) throw Error('DomUtil: elem is not an element.');
    const style = getComputedStyle(elem);
    if (style.display === 'none') return false;
    if (style.visibility !== 'visible') return false;
    if (style.opacity === 0) return false;
    if (elem.offsetWidth + elem.offsetHeight + elem.getBoundingClientRect().height +
        elem.getBoundingClientRect().width === 0) {
        return false;
    }
    var elementPoints = {
        'center': {
            x: elem.getBoundingClientRect().left + elem.offsetWidth / 2,
            y: elem.getBoundingClientRect().top + elem.offsetHeight / 2
        },
        'top-left': {
            x: elem.getBoundingClientRect().left,
            y: elem.getBoundingClientRect().top
        },
        'top-right': {
            x: elem.getBoundingClientRect().right,
            y: elem.getBoundingClientRect().top
        },
        'bottom-left': {
            x: elem.getBoundingClientRect().left,
            y: elem.getBoundingClientRect().bottom
        },
        'bottom-right': {
            x: elem.getBoundingClientRect().right,
            y: elem.getBoundingClientRect().bottom
        }
    }

    for(index in elementPoints) {
        var point = elementPoints[index];
        if (point.x < 0) return false;
        if (point.x > (document.documentElement.clientWidth || window.innerWidth)) return false;
        if (point.y < 0) return false;
        if (point.y > (document.documentElement.clientHeight || window.innerHeight)) return false;
        let pointContainer = document.elementFromPoint(point.x, point.y);
        if (pointContainer !== null) {
            do {
                if (pointContainer === elem) return true;
            } while (pointContainer = pointContainer.parentNode);
        }
    }
    return false;
}

下面是一个(纯纯的JS)函数，它执行大量的检查，确保给定的元素对用户可见:

function isVisible(element) {
    // Check if the element is null or undefined
    if (!element) return false;

    // Get the element's bounding client rect
    const boundingRect = element.getBoundingClientRect();

    // Check if the element has a positive width and height
    if (boundingRect.width <= 0 || boundingRect.height <= 0) return false;

    // Check if the element's top and left values are within the viewport
    const top = boundingRect.top;
    const left = boundingRect.left;
    const viewportWidth = window.innerWidth || document.documentElement.clientWidth;
    const viewportHeight = window.innerHeight || document.documentElement.clientHeight;
    if (top > viewportHeight || left > viewportWidth) return false;

    // Check if the element's right and bottom values are within the viewport
    const right = boundingRect.right;
    const bottom = boundingRect.bottom;
    if (right < 0 || bottom < 0) return false;

    // Check if the element is hidden by the overflow property
    const parentNode = element.parentNode;
    if (parentNode && getComputedStyle(parentNode).overflow === 'hidden') {
        const parentRect = parentNode.getBoundingClientRect();
        if (top < parentRect.top || bottom > parentRect.bottom || left < parentRect.left || right > parentRect.right) {
            return false;
        }
    }

    const elementComputedStyle = getComputedStyle(element);

    // Check if the element has a z-index of less than 0
    const zIndex = elementComputedStyle.zIndex;
    if (zIndex < 0) return false;

    // Check if the element has a display value of 'none' or an opacity of 0
    const display = elementComputedStyle.display;
    const opacity = elementComputedStyle.opacity;
    if (display === 'none' || opacity === '0') return false;

    // Check if the element is hidden by an ancestor element with a display value of 'none' or an opacity of 0
    let ancestorElement = element.parentElement;
    while (ancestorElement) {
        const ancestorComputedStyle = getComputedStyle(ancestorElement);
        const ancestorDisplay = ancestorComputedStyle.display;
        const ancestorOpacity = ancestorComputedStyle.opacity;
        if (ancestorDisplay === 'none' || ancestorOpacity === '0') return false;
        ancestorElement = ancestorElement.parentElement;
    }

    // Initialize a variable to keep track of whether the element is obscured by another element
    let obscured = false;

    // Check if the element is obscured by another element according to its position
    if (elementComputedStyle.position === 'absolute' || elementComputedStyle.position === 'fixed' ||
        elementComputedStyle.position === 'relative' || elementComputedStyle.position === 'sticky' ||
        elementComputedStyle.position === 'static') {
        let siblingElement = element.nextElementSibling;
        while (siblingElement) {
            if (siblingElement.getBoundingClientRect().top > boundingRect.bottom || siblingElement.getBoundingClientRect().left > boundingRect.right) {
                break;
            }
            if (siblingElement.getBoundingClientRect().bottom > boundingRect.top && siblingElement.getBoundingClientRect().right > boundingRect.left) {
                obscured = true;
                break;
            }
            siblingElement = siblingElement.nextElementSibling;
        }
        if (obscured) return false;
    }

    // If all checks have passed, the element is visible
    return true;
}

所以我找到了最可行的方法:

function visible(elm) {
  if(!elm.offsetHeight && !elm.offsetWidth) { return false; }
  if(getComputedStyle(elm).visibility === 'hidden') { return false; }
  return true;
}

这是基于以下事实:

显示:所有元素(即使是嵌套的元素)都没有宽度和高度。 可见性即使对于嵌套的元素也是隐藏的。

因此不需要测试offsetParent或在DOM树中循环来测试哪个父对象具有可见性:hidden。这应该可以在ie9中工作。

你可能会说，如果透明度:0和折叠的元素(有宽度但没有高度-反之亦然)也不是真正可见的。但话说回来，它们并不是隐藏的。

如果元素是常规可见的(display:block和visibility:visible)，但有些父容器是隐藏的，那么我们可以使用clientWidth和clienttheight来检查。

function isVisible (ele) {
  return  ele.clientWidth !== 0 &&
    ele.clientHeight !== 0 &&
    (ele.style.opacity !== '' ? parseFloat(ele.style.opacity) > 0 : true);
}

活塞(点击这里)

结合上面的几个答案:

function isVisible (ele) {
    var style = window.getComputedStyle(ele);
    return  style.width !== "0" &&
    style.height !== "0" &&
    style.opacity !== "0" &&
    style.display!=='none' &&
    style.visibility!== 'hidden';
}

就像AlexZ说的，这可能会比你的一些其他选择更慢，如果你更具体地知道你在寻找什么，但这应该抓住所有隐藏元素的主要方式。

但是，这也取决于你认为什么是可见的。例如，一个div的高度可以设置为0px，但内容仍然可见，这取决于溢出属性。或者，可以将div的内容设置为与背景相同的颜色，这样用户就不会看到它，但仍然可以在页面上显示。或者一个div可以移出屏幕或隐藏在其他div后面，或者它的内容可以是不可见的，但边界仍然可见。在一定程度上，“可见”是一个主观术语。

为了详细说明大家的精彩回答，下面是Mozilla Fathom项目中使用的实现:

/**
 * Yield an element and each of its ancestors.
 */
export function *ancestors(element) {
    yield element;
    let parent;
    while ((parent = element.parentNode) !== null && parent.nodeType === parent.ELEMENT_NODE) {
        yield parent;
        element = parent;
    }
}

/**
 * Return whether an element is practically visible, considering things like 0
 * size or opacity, ``visibility: hidden`` and ``overflow: hidden``.
 *
 * Merely being scrolled off the page in either horizontally or vertically
 * doesn't count as invisible; the result of this function is meant to be
 * independent of viewport size.
 *
 * @throws {Error} The element (or perhaps one of its ancestors) is not in a
 *     window, so we can't find the `getComputedStyle()` routine to call. That
 *     routine is the source of most of the information we use, so you should
 *     pick a different strategy for non-window contexts.
 */
export function isVisible(fnodeOrElement) {
    // This could be 5x more efficient if https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4122 happens.
    const element = toDomElement(fnodeOrElement);
    const elementWindow = windowForElement(element);
    const elementRect = element.getBoundingClientRect();
    const elementStyle = elementWindow.getComputedStyle(element);
    // Alternative to reading ``display: none`` due to Bug 1381071.
    if (elementRect.width === 0 && elementRect.height === 0 && elementStyle.overflow !== 'hidden') {
        return false;
    }
    if (elementStyle.visibility === 'hidden') {
        return false;
    }
    // Check if the element is irrevocably off-screen:
    if (elementRect.x + elementRect.width < 0 ||
        elementRect.y + elementRect.height < 0
    ) {
        return false;
    }
    for (const ancestor of ancestors(element)) {
        const isElement = ancestor === element;
        const style = isElement ? elementStyle : elementWindow.getComputedStyle(ancestor);
        if (style.opacity === '0') {
            return false;
        }
        if (style.display === 'contents') {
            // ``display: contents`` elements have no box themselves, but children are
            // still rendered.
            continue;
        }
        const rect = isElement ? elementRect : ancestor.getBoundingClientRect();
        if ((rect.width === 0 || rect.height === 0) && elementStyle.overflow === 'hidden') {
            // Zero-sized ancestors don’t make descendants hidden unless the descendant
            // has ``overflow: hidden``.
            return false;
        }
    }
    return true;
}

它检查每个父元素的不透明度、显示和矩形。
