这是我的纯JavaScript解决方案，如果它隐藏在一个可滚动的容器。

演示在这里(尝试调整窗口的大小)

var visibleY = function(el){
  var rect = el.getBoundingClientRect(), top = rect.top, height = rect.height, 
    el = el.parentNode
  // Check if bottom of the element is off the page
  if (rect.bottom < 0) return false
  // Check its within the document viewport
  if (top > document.documentElement.clientHeight) return false
  do {
    rect = el.getBoundingClientRect()
    if (top <= rect.bottom === false) return false
    // Check if the element is out of view due to a container scrolling
    if ((top + height) <= rect.top) return false
    el = el.parentNode
  } while (el != document.body)
  return true
};

编辑2016-03-26:我已经更新了解决方案，以考虑滚动过去的元素，所以它隐藏在可滚动容器的顶部。 编辑2018-10-08:更新到当滚动到屏幕上方的视图外时处理。

如果你想在另一个div中滚动项目，

function isScrolledIntoView (elem, divID) 

{

    var docViewTop = $('#' + divID).scrollTop();


    var docViewBottom = docViewTop + $('#' + divID).height();

    var elemTop = $(elem).offset().top;
    var elemBottom = elemTop + $(elem).height();

    return ((elemBottom <= docViewBottom) && (elemTop >= docViewTop)); 
}

仅限Javascript:)

function isInViewport(element) {
  var rect = element.getBoundingClientRect();
  var html = document.documentElement;
  return (
    rect.top >= 0 &&
    rect.left >= 0 &&
    rect.bottom <= (window.innerHeight || html.clientHeight) &&
    rect.right <= (window.innerWidth || html.clientWidth)
  );
}

检查元素是否在屏幕上，而不是公认的检查div是否完全在屏幕上的方法(如果div比屏幕大，这将不起作用)。在纯Javascript中:

/**
 * Checks if element is on the screen (Y axis only), returning true
 * even if the element is only partially on screen.
 *
 * @param element
 * @returns {boolean}
 */
function isOnScreenY(element) {
    var screen_top_position = window.scrollY;
    var screen_bottom_position = screen_top_position + window.innerHeight;

    var element_top_position = element.offsetTop;
    var element_bottom_position = element_top_position + element.offsetHeight;

    return (inRange(element_top_position, screen_top_position, screen_bottom_position)
    || inRange(element_bottom_position, screen_top_position, screen_bottom_position));
}

/**
 * Checks if x is in range (in-between) the
 * value of a and b (in that order). Also returns true
 * if equal to either value.
 *
 * @param x
 * @param a
 * @param b
 * @returns {boolean}
 */
function inRange(x, a, b) {
    return (x >= a && x <= b);
}

jQuery Waypoints插件在这里做得非常好。

$('.entry').waypoint(function() {
   alert('You have scrolled to an entry.');
});

在插件的站点上有一些例子。

我在我的应用程序中有这样一个方法，但它不使用jQuery:

/* Get the TOP position of a given element. */
function getPositionTop(element){
    var offset = 0;
    while(element) {
        offset += element["offsetTop"];
        element = element.offsetParent;
    }
    return offset;
}

/* Is a given element is visible or not? */
function isElementVisible(eltId) {
    var elt = document.getElementById(eltId);
    if (!elt) {
        // Element not found.
        return false;
    }
    // Get the top and bottom position of the given element.
    var posTop = getPositionTop(elt);
    var posBottom = posTop + elt.offsetHeight;
    // Get the top and bottom position of the *visible* part of the window.
    var visibleTop = document.body.scrollTop;
    var visibleBottom = visibleTop + document.documentElement.offsetHeight;
    return ((posBottom >= visibleTop) && (posTop <= visibleBottom));
}

编辑:此方法适用于I.E.(至少版本6)。请阅读评论以了解FF的兼容性。
