function isScrolledIntoView(elem) {
    var docViewTop = $(window).scrollTop(),
        docViewBottom = docViewTop + $(window).height(),
        elemTop = $(elem).offset().top,
     elemBottom = elemTop + $(elem).height();
   //Is more than half of the element visible
   return ((elemTop + ((elemBottom - elemTop)/2)) >= docViewTop && ((elemTop + ((elemBottom - elemTop)/2)) <= docViewBottom));
}

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。

jQuery有一个名为inview的插件，它添加了一个新的inview事件。

下面是jQuery插件不使用事件的代码:

$.extend($.expr[':'],{
    inView: function(a) {
        var st = (document.documentElement.scrollTop || document.body.scrollTop),
            ot = $(a).offset().top,
            wh = (window.innerHeight && window.innerHeight < $(window).height()) ? window.innerHeight : $(window).height();
        return ot > st && ($(a).height() + ot) < (st + wh);
    }
});

(function( $ ) {
    $.fn.inView = function() {
        var st = (document.documentElement.scrollTop || document.body.scrollTop),
        ot = $(this).offset().top,
        wh = (window.innerHeight && window.innerHeight < $(window).height()) ? window.innerHeight : $(window).height();

        return ot > st && ($(this).height() + ot) < (st + wh);
    };
})( jQuery );

我在一个叫James的家伙的评论中发现了这一点(http://remysharp.com/2009/01/26/element-in-view-event-plugin/)

WebResourcesDepot在前段时间使用jQuery编写了一个滚动加载脚本。你可以在这里查看他们的现场演示。它们功能的关键在于:

$(window).scroll(function(){
  if  ($(window).scrollTop() == $(document).height() - $(window).height()){
    lastAddedLiveFunc();
  }
});

function lastAddedLiveFunc() { 
  $('div#lastPostsLoader').html('<img src="images/bigLoader.gif">');
  $.post("default.asp?action=getLastPosts&lastPostID="+$(".wrdLatest:last").attr("id"),
    function(data){
        if (data != "") {
          $(".wrdLatest:last").after(data);         
        }
      $('div#lastPostsLoader').empty();
    });
};

这里有一种使用Mootools实现相同目标的方法，可以是水平的、垂直的或两者都有。

Element.implement({
inVerticalView: function (full) {
    if (typeOf(full) === "null") {
        full = true;
    }

    if (this.getStyle('display') === 'none') {
        return false;
    }

    // Window Size and Scroll
    var windowScroll = window.getScroll();
    var windowSize = window.getSize();
    // Element Size and Scroll
    var elementPosition = this.getPosition();
    var elementSize = this.getSize();

    // Calculation Variables
    var docViewTop = windowScroll.y;
    var docViewBottom = docViewTop + windowSize.y;
    var elemTop = elementPosition.y;
    var elemBottom = elemTop + elementSize.y;

    if (full) {
        return ((elemBottom >= docViewTop) && (elemTop <= docViewBottom)
            && (elemBottom <= docViewBottom) && (elemTop >= docViewTop) );
    } else {
        return ((elemBottom <= docViewBottom) && (elemTop >= docViewTop));
    }
},
inHorizontalView: function(full) {
    if (typeOf(full) === "null") {
        full = true;
    }

    if (this.getStyle('display') === 'none') {
        return false;
    }

    // Window Size and Scroll
    var windowScroll = window.getScroll();
    var windowSize = window.getSize();
    // Element Size and Scroll
    var elementPosition = this.getPosition();
    var elementSize = this.getSize();

    // Calculation Variables
    var docViewLeft = windowScroll.x;
    var docViewRight = docViewLeft + windowSize.x;
    var elemLeft = elementPosition.x;
    var elemRight = elemLeft + elementSize.x;

    if (full) {
        return ((elemRight >= docViewLeft) && (elemLeft <= docViewRight)
            && (elemRight <= docViewRight) && (elemLeft >= docViewLeft) );
    } else {
        return ((elemRight <= docViewRight) && (elemLeft >= docViewLeft));
    }
},
inView: function(full) {
    return this.inHorizontalView(full) && this.inVerticalView(full);
}});

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;
