更新:时间在流逝，我们的浏览器也是如此。这种方法不再被推荐，如果你不需要支持ie7之前的版本，你应该使用Dan的解决方案。

原来的解决方案(现已过时):

这将检查元素是否在当前视口中完全可见:

function elementInViewport(el) {
  var top = el.offsetTop;
  var left = el.offsetLeft;
  var width = el.offsetWidth;
  var height = el.offsetHeight;

  while(el.offsetParent) {
    el = el.offsetParent;
    top += el.offsetTop;
    left += el.offsetLeft;
  }

  return (
    top >= window.pageYOffset &&
    left >= window.pageXOffset &&
    (top + height) <= (window.pageYOffset + window.innerHeight) &&
    (left + width) <= (window.pageXOffset + window.innerWidth)
  );
}

你可以简单地修改它，以确定元素的任何部分在视口中是否可见:

function elementInViewport2(el) {
  var top = el.offsetTop;
  var left = el.offsetLeft;
  var width = el.offsetWidth;
  var height = el.offsetHeight;

  while(el.offsetParent) {
    el = el.offsetParent;
    top += el.offsetTop;
    left += el.offsetLeft;
  }

  return (
    top < (window.pageYOffset + window.innerHeight) &&
    left < (window.pageXOffset + window.innerWidth) &&
    (top + height) > window.pageYOffset &&
    (left + width) > window.pageXOffset
  );
}

这检查元素是否至少部分在视图中(垂直维度):

function inView(element) {
    var box = element.getBoundingClientRect();
    return inViewBox(box);
}

function inViewBox(box) {
    return ((box.bottom < 0) || (box.top > getWindowSize().h)) ? false : true;
}


function getWindowSize() {
    return { w: document.body.offsetWidth || document.documentElement.offsetWidth || window.innerWidth, h: document.body.offsetHeight || document.documentElement.offsetHeight || window.innerHeight}
}

作为Element.getBoundingClientRect()的支持，最简单的解决方案已经变得完美:

function isInView(el) {
  const box = el.getBoundingClientRect();
  return box.top < window.innerHeight && box.bottom >= 0;
}

function getElementViewportInfo(el) {

    let result = {};

    let rect = el.getBoundingClientRect();
    let windowHeight = window.innerHeight || document.documentElement.clientHeight;
    let windowWidth  = window.innerWidth || document.documentElement.clientWidth;

    let insideX = rect.left >= 0 && rect.left + rect.width <= windowWidth;
    let insideY = rect.top >= 0 && rect.top + rect.height <= windowHeight;

    result.isInsideViewport = insideX && insideY;

    let aroundX = rect.left < 0 && rect.left + rect.width > windowWidth;
    let aroundY = rect.top < 0 && rect.top + rect.height > windowHeight;

    result.isAroundViewport = aroundX && aroundY;

    let onTop    = rect.top < 0 && rect.top + rect.height > 0;
    let onRight  = rect.left < windowWidth && rect.left + rect.width > windowWidth;
    let onLeft   = rect.left < 0 && rect.left + rect.width > 0;
    let onBottom = rect.top < windowHeight && rect.top + rect.height > windowHeight;

    let onY = insideY || aroundY || onTop || onBottom;
    let onX = insideX || aroundX || onLeft || onRight;

    result.isOnTopEdge    = onTop && onX;
    result.isOnRightEdge  = onRight && onY;
    result.isOnBottomEdge = onBottom && onX;
    result.isOnLeftEdge   = onLeft && onY;

    result.isOnEdge = result.isOnLeftEdge || result.isOnRightEdge ||
        result.isOnTopEdge || result.isOnBottomEdge;

    let isInX =
        insideX || aroundX || result.isOnLeftEdge || result.isOnRightEdge;
    let isInY =
        insideY || aroundY || result.isOnTopEdge || result.isOnBottomEdge;

    result.isInViewport = isInX && isInY;

    result.isPartiallyInViewport =
        result.isInViewport && result.isOnEdge;

    return result;
}

让我感到困扰的是，该功能没有以jquery为中心的版本可用。当我看到Dan的解决方案时，我发现有机会为那些喜欢用jQuery OO风格编程的人提供一些东西。它很漂亮，很时髦，对我来说很有魅力。

哒哒，哒哒，嘣

$.fn.inView = function(){
    if(!this.length) 
        return false;
    var rect = this.get(0).getBoundingClientRect();

    return (
        rect.top >= 0 &&
        rect.left >= 0 &&
        rect.bottom <= (window.innerHeight || document.documentElement.clientHeight) &&
        rect.right <= (window.innerWidth || document.documentElement.clientWidth)
    );

};

// Additional examples for other use cases
// Is true false whether an array of elements are all in view
$.fn.allInView = function(){
    var all = [];
    this.forEach(function(){
        all.push( $(this).inView() );
    });
    return all.indexOf(false) === -1;
};

// Only the class elements in view
$('.some-class').filter(function(){
    return $(this).inView();
});

// Only the class elements not in view
$('.some-class').filter(function(){
    return !$(this).inView();
});

使用

$(window).on('scroll',function(){

    if( $('footer').inView() ) {
        // Do cool stuff
    }
});

我的更短更快的版本:

function isElementOutViewport(el){
    var rect = el.getBoundingClientRect();
    return rect.bottom < 0 || rect.right < 0 || rect.left > window.innerWidth || rect.top > window.innerHeight;
}
