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)。

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。

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)。

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。

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';

        aboveViewport.style.right       = '0';
        aboveViewport.style.bottom       = '100000px';
        aboveViewport.textContent = 'aboveViewport';

        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;
