如果你正在抓取网站，一个非常低效的方法对我来说是突出显示任何元素，然后截图，然后检查截图是否发生了变化。

//Screenshot

function makeSelected(element){
    let range = new Range()
    range.selectNode(element)
    let selection = window.getSelection()
    selection.removeAllRanges()
    selection.addRange(range)
}
// screenshot again and check for diff

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;
}

let element = document.getElementById('element');
let rect = element.getBoundingClientRect();

if(rect.top == 0 && 
  rect.bottom == 0 && 
  rect.left == 0 && 
  rect.right == 0 && 
  rect.width == 0 && 
  rect.height == 0 && 
  rect.x == 0 && 
  rect.y == 0)
{
  alert('hidden');
}
else
{
  alert('visible');
}

来自http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.js的jQuery代码有一个isHidden参数

var isHidden = function( elem, el ) {
    // isHidden might be called from jQuery#filter function;
    // in that case, element will be second argument
    elem = el || elem;
    return jQuery.css( elem, "display" ) === "none" || !jQuery.contains( elem.ownerDocument, elem );
};

因此，看起来有一个与所有者文档相关的额外检查

我想知道这是否真的适用于以下情况:

基于zIndex隐藏在其他元素后面的元素 完全透明的元素使它们不可见 位于屏幕外的元素(即左:-1000px) 具有可见性的元素:隐藏 有显示的元素:无 没有可见文本或子元素的元素 高度或宽度设置为0的元素

仅供参考，应该注意getBoundingClientRect()在某些情况下可以工作。

例如，使用display: none简单检查元素是否被隐藏，可能看起来像这样:

var box = element.getBoundingClientRect();
var visible = box.width && box.height;

这也很方便，因为它还涵盖了零宽度、零高度和位置:固定的情况。但是，它不应该报告使用opacity: 0或visibility: hidden隐藏的元素(但是也不会报告offsetParent)。

我有一个更有效的解决方案相比AlexZ的getComputedStyle()解决方案时，有位置“固定”元素，如果一个愿意忽略一些边缘情况(检查评论):

function isVisible(el) {
    /* offsetParent would be null if display 'none' is set.
       However Chrome, IE and MS Edge returns offsetParent as null for elements
       with CSS position 'fixed'. So check whether the dimensions are zero.

       This check would be inaccurate if position is 'fixed' AND dimensions were
       intentionally set to zero. But..it is good enough for most cases.*/
    return Boolean(el.offsetParent || el.offsetWidth || el.offsetHeight);
}

附注:严格来说，“可见性”首先需要定义。在我的情况下，我正在考虑一个元素可见，只要我可以运行所有DOM方法/属性上没有问题(即使不透明度为0或CSS可见性属性是“隐藏”等)。
