下面是一个函数，它告诉你一个元素在父元素的当前视口中是否可见:

function inParentViewport(el, pa) {
    if (typeof jQuery === "function"){
        if (el instanceof jQuery)
            el = el[0];
        if (pa instanceof jQuery)
            pa = pa[0];
    }

    var e = el.getBoundingClientRect();
    var p = pa.getBoundingClientRect();

    return (
        e.bottom >= p.top &&
        e.right >= p.left &&
        e.top <= p.bottom &&
        e.left <= p.right
    );
}

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。

对于类似的挑战，我非常喜欢这个要点，它为scrollIntoViewIfNeeded()暴露了一个填充。

所有必要的功夫都需要回答这个问题:

var parent = this.parentNode,
    parentComputedStyle = window.getComputedStyle(parent, null),
    parentBorderTopWidth = parseInt(parentComputedStyle.getPropertyValue('border-top-width')),
    parentBorderLeftWidth = parseInt(parentComputedStyle.getPropertyValue('border-left-width')),
    overTop = this.offsetTop - parent.offsetTop < parent.scrollTop,
    overBottom = (this.offsetTop - parent.offsetTop + this.clientHeight - parentBorderTopWidth) > (parent.scrollTop + parent.clientHeight),
    overLeft = this.offsetLeft - parent.offsetLeft < parent.scrollLeft,
    overRight = (this.offsetLeft - parent.offsetLeft + this.clientWidth - parentBorderLeftWidth) > (parent.scrollLeft + parent.clientWidth),
    alignWithTop = overTop && !overBottom;

这指的是你想知道的元素，例如，overTop或overBottom -你只需要得到漂移…

这是一个简单而简单的解决方法，对我来说很有效。

示例:您想查看元素在具有溢出滚动的父元素中是否可见。

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

     var container = $('#sidebar');
     var containerHeight = container.height();
     var scrollPosition = $('#row1').offset().top - container.offset().top;

     if (containerHeight < scrollPosition) {
         console.log('not visible');
     } else {
         console.log('visible');
     }
})

一个更好的解决方案:

function getViewportSize(w) {
    var w = w || window;
    if(w.innerWidth != null)
        return {w:w.innerWidth, h:w.innerHeight};
    var d = w.document;
    if (document.compatMode == "CSS1Compat") {
        return {
            w: d.documentElement.clientWidth,
            h: d.documentElement.clientHeight
        };
    }
    return { w: d.body.clientWidth, h: d.body.clientWidth };
}


function isViewportVisible(e) {
    var box = e.getBoundingClientRect();
    var height = box.height || (box.bottom - box.top);
    var width = box.width || (box.right - box.left);
    var viewport = getViewportSize();
    if(!height || !width)
        return false;
    if(box.top > viewport.h || box.bottom < 0)
        return false;
    if(box.right < 0 || box.left > viewport.w)
        return false;
    return true;
}

我发现这里公认的答案对于大多数用例来说过于复杂。这段代码很好地完成了工作(使用jQuery)，并区分了完全可见和部分可见的元素:

var element         = $("#element");
var topOfElement    = element.offset().top;
var bottomOfElement = element.offset().top + element.outerHeight(true);
var $window         = $(window);

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

    var scrollTopPosition   = $window.scrollTop()+$window.height();
    var windowScrollTop     = $window.scrollTop()

    if (windowScrollTop > topOfElement && windowScrollTop < bottomOfElement) {
        // Element is partially visible (above viewable area)
        console.log("Element is partially visible (above viewable area)");

    } else if (windowScrollTop > bottomOfElement && windowScrollTop > topOfElement) {
        // Element is hidden (above viewable area)
        console.log("Element is hidden (above viewable area)");

    } else if (scrollTopPosition < topOfElement && scrollTopPosition < bottomOfElement) {
        // Element is hidden (below viewable area)
        console.log("Element is hidden (below viewable area)");

    } else if (scrollTopPosition < bottomOfElement && scrollTopPosition > topOfElement) {
        // Element is partially visible (below viewable area)
        console.log("Element is partially visible (below viewable area)");

    } else {
        // Element is completely visible
        console.log("Element is completely visible");
    }
});
