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)
  );
}

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。

我只是想分享一下，我把这个和我的脚本结合起来移动div，这样它就总是在视图中:

    $("#accordion").on('click', '.subLink', function(){
        var url = $(this).attr('src');
        updateFrame(url);
        scrollIntoView();
    });

    $(window).scroll(function(){
            changePos();
    });

  function scrollIntoView()
  {
        var docViewTop = $(window).scrollTop();
        var docViewBottom = docViewTop + $(window).height();    
        var elemTop = $("#divPos").offset().top;
        var elemBottom = elemTop + $("#divPos").height();               
        if (elemTop < docViewTop){
            $("#divPos").offset({top:docViewTop});
        }
   }

   function changePos(){        
    var scrTop = $(window).scrollTop();
    var frmHeight = $("#divPos").height()
        if ((scrTop < 200) || (frmHeight > 800)){   
         $("#divPos").attr("style","position:absolute;");
        }else{
          $("#divPos").attr("style","position:fixed;top:5px;");
        }
    }

其他答案通常不检查元素是否在视图中沿着X轴，即可能在当前视口Y范围内，但不在X范围内。这个函数检查X和Y是否显示在视口中:

function checkElInView(el) {
    if (!el || !typeof el.getBoundingClientRect === "function") return false;
    const r = el.getBoundingClientRect();
    const vw = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
    const vh = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
    const inViewX = (r.left > 0 && r.left < vw) || (r.right < vw && r.right > 0);
    const inViewY = (r.top > 0 && r.top < vh) || (r.bottom < vh && r.bottom > 0);
    return inViewX && inViewY;
}

简单的检查元素(el)是否在可滚动的div (holder)中可见

function isElementVisible (el, holder) {
  holder = holder || document.body
  const { top, bottom, height } = el.getBoundingClientRect()
  const holderRect = holder.getBoundingClientRect()

  return top <= holderRect.top
    ? holderRect.top - top <= height
    : bottom - holderRect.bottom <= height
}

使用jQuery:

var el = $('tr:last').get(0);
var holder = $('table').get(0);
var isVisible = isElementVisible(el, holder);

我们可以在使用ES6的现代浏览器中做这样的事情:

const isFullySeen = el => el &&
  typeof el.getBoundingClientRect === 'function' &&
  el.getBoundingClientRect()['bottom'] + window.scrollY <= 
    window.innerHeight + window.scrollY && 
  el.getBoundingClientRect()['top'] + window.scrollY <= 
    window.innerHeight + window.scrollY;
