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}
}

在Android上放大谷歌Chrome浏览器时，最被接受的答案是不工作的。结合Dan的回答，要考虑Android上的Chrome，必须使用visualViewport。下面的例子只考虑了垂直检查，并使用jQuery来计算窗口高度:

var Rect = YOUR_ELEMENT.getBoundingClientRect();
var ElTop = Rect.top, ElBottom = Rect.bottom;
var WindowHeight = $(window).height();
if(window.visualViewport) {
    ElTop -= window.visualViewport.offsetTop;
    ElBottom -= window.visualViewport.offsetTop;
    WindowHeight = window.visualViewport.height;
}
var WithinScreen = (ElTop >= 0 && ElBottom <= WindowHeight);

我在这里遇到的所有答案都只是检查元素是否位于当前视口中。但这并不意味着它是可见的。 如果给定的元素在一个包含满溢内容的div中，并且它被滚动到视图之外，该怎么办?

要解决这个问题，您必须检查元素是否被所有父元素所包含。 我的解决方案就是这样:

它还允许您指定多少元素必须是可见的。

Element.prototype.isVisible = function(percentX, percentY){
    var tolerance = 0.01;   //needed because the rects returned by getBoundingClientRect provide the position up to 10 decimals
    if(percentX == null){
        percentX = 100;
    }
    if(percentY == null){
        percentY = 100;
    }

    var elementRect = this.getBoundingClientRect();
    var parentRects = [];
    var element = this;

    while(element.parentElement != null){
        parentRects.push(element.parentElement.getBoundingClientRect());
        element = element.parentElement;
    }

    var visibleInAllParents = parentRects.every(function(parentRect){
        var visiblePixelX = Math.min(elementRect.right, parentRect.right) - Math.max(elementRect.left, parentRect.left);
        var visiblePixelY = Math.min(elementRect.bottom, parentRect.bottom) - Math.max(elementRect.top, parentRect.top);
        var visiblePercentageX = visiblePixelX / elementRect.width * 100;
        var visiblePercentageY = visiblePixelY / elementRect.height * 100;
        return visiblePercentageX + tolerance > percentX && visiblePercentageY + tolerance > percentY;
    });
    return visibleInAllParents;
};

这个解决方案忽略了元素可能由于其他因素而不可见的事实，比如不透明度:0。

我已经在Chrome和Internet Explorer 11中测试了这个解决方案。

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;

    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 =

    let isInY =
        insideY || aroundY || result.isOnTopEdge || result.isOnBottomEdge;

    result.isInViewport = isInX && isInY;

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

    return result;
}

下面是检查给定元素在其父元素中是否完全可见的代码片段:

export const visibleInParentViewport = (el) => {
  const elementRect = el.getBoundingClientRect();
  const parentRect = el.parentNode.getBoundingClientRect();

  return (
    elementRect.top >= parentRect.top &&
    elementRect.right >= parentRect.left &&
    elementRect.top + elementRect.height <= parentRect.bottom &&
    elementRect.left + elementRect.width <= parentRect.right
  );
}
