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

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)。

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

如果你对用户可见感兴趣:

function isVisible(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 < 0.1) return false;
    if (elem.offsetWidth + elem.offsetHeight + elem.getBoundingClientRect().height +
        elem.getBoundingClientRect().width === 0) {
        return false;
    }
    const elemCenter   = {
        x: elem.getBoundingClientRect().left + elem.offsetWidth / 2,
        y: elem.getBoundingClientRect().top + elem.offsetHeight / 2
    };
    if (elemCenter.x < 0) return false;
    if (elemCenter.x > (document.documentElement.clientWidth || window.innerWidth)) return false;
    if (elemCenter.y < 0) return false;
    if (elemCenter.y > (document.documentElement.clientHeight || window.innerHeight)) return false;
    let pointContainer = document.elementFromPoint(elemCenter.x, elemCenter.y);
    do {
        if (pointContainer === elem) return true;
    } while (pointContainer = pointContainer.parentNode);
    return false;
}

测试对象(使用摩卡术语):

describe.only('visibility', function () {
    let div, visible, notVisible, inViewport, leftOfViewport, rightOfViewport, aboveViewport,
        belowViewport, notDisplayed, zeroOpacity, zIndex1, zIndex2;
    before(() => {
        div = document.createElement('div');
        document.querySelector('body').appendChild(div);
        div.appendChild(visible = document.createElement('div'));
        visible.style       = 'border: 1px solid black; margin: 5px; display: inline-block;';
        visible.textContent = 'visible';
        div.appendChild(inViewport = visible.cloneNode(false));
        inViewport.textContent = 'inViewport';
        div.appendChild(notDisplayed = visible.cloneNode(false));
        notDisplayed.style.display = 'none';
        notDisplayed.textContent   = 'notDisplayed';
        div.appendChild(notVisible = visible.cloneNode(false));
        notVisible.style.visibility = 'hidden';
        notVisible.textContent      = 'notVisible';
        div.appendChild(leftOfViewport = visible.cloneNode(false));
        leftOfViewport.style.position = 'absolute';
        leftOfViewport.style.right = '100000px';
        leftOfViewport.textContent = 'leftOfViewport';
        div.appendChild(rightOfViewport = leftOfViewport.cloneNode(false));
        rightOfViewport.style.right       = '0';
        rightOfViewport.style.left       = '100000px';
        rightOfViewport.textContent = 'rightOfViewport';
        div.appendChild(aboveViewport = leftOfViewport.cloneNode(false));
        aboveViewport.style.right       = '0';
        aboveViewport.style.bottom       = '100000px';
        aboveViewport.textContent = 'aboveViewport';
        div.appendChild(belowViewport = leftOfViewport.cloneNode(false));
        belowViewport.style.right       = '0';
        belowViewport.style.top       = '100000px';
        belowViewport.textContent = 'belowViewport';
        div.appendChild(zeroOpacity = visible.cloneNode(false));
        zeroOpacity.textContent   = 'zeroOpacity';
        zeroOpacity.style.opacity = '0';
        div.appendChild(zIndex1 = visible.cloneNode(false));
        zIndex1.textContent = 'zIndex1';
        zIndex1.style.position = 'absolute';
        zIndex1.style.left = zIndex1.style.top = zIndex1.style.width = zIndex1.style.height = '100px';
        zIndex1.style.zIndex = '1';
        div.appendChild(zIndex2 = zIndex1.cloneNode(false));
        zIndex2.textContent = 'zIndex2';
        zIndex2.style.left = zIndex2.style.top = '90px';
        zIndex2.style.width = zIndex2.style.height = '120px';
        zIndex2.style.backgroundColor = 'red';
        zIndex2.style.zIndex = '2';
    });
    after(() => {
        div.parentNode.removeChild(div);
    });
    it('isVisible = true', () => {
        expect(isVisible(div)).to.be.true;
        expect(isVisible(visible)).to.be.true;
        expect(isVisible(inViewport)).to.be.true;
        expect(isVisible(zIndex2)).to.be.true;
    });
    it('isVisible = false', () => {
        expect(isVisible(notDisplayed)).to.be.false;
        expect(isVisible(notVisible)).to.be.false;
        expect(isVisible(document.createElement('div'))).to.be.false;
        expect(isVisible(zIndex1)).to.be.false;
        expect(isVisible(zeroOpacity)).to.be.false;
        expect(isVisible(leftOfViewport)).to.be.false;
        expect(isVisible(rightOfViewport)).to.be.false;
        expect(isVisible(aboveViewport)).to.be.false;
        expect(isVisible(belowViewport)).to.be.false;
    });
});

这是一种确定所有css属性(包括可见性)的方法:

html:

<div id="element">div content</div>

css:

#element
{
visibility:hidden;
}

javascript:

var element = document.getElementById('element');
 if(element.style.visibility == 'hidden'){
alert('hidden');
}
else
{
alert('visible');
}

它适用于任何css属性，非常通用和可靠。

对我来说，所有其他的解决方案在某些情况下都失效了。

最终，我认为最好的解决方案是$(elem).is(':visible')——然而，这不是纯javascript。它是jquery..

所以我偷看了他们的来源，找到了我想要的

jQuery.expr.filters.visible = function( elem ) {
    return !!( elem.offsetWidth || elem.offsetHeight || elem.getClientRects().length );
};
