在我看来，非常简单:

function isVisible(elem) {
  var coords = elem.getBoundingClientRect();
  return Math.abs(coords.top) <= coords.height;
}

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");
    }
});

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
    );
}

在我看来，非常简单:

function isVisible(elem) {
  var coords = elem.getBoundingClientRect();
  return Math.abs(coords.top) <= coords.height;
}

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…

这是我的解决方案。如果一个元素隐藏在一个可滚动的容器中，它将工作。

这里是一个演示(尝试调整窗口大小为)

var visibleY = function(el){
    var top = el.getBoundingClientRect().top, rect, el = el.parentNode;
    do {
        rect = el.getBoundingClientRect();
        if (top <= rect.bottom === false)
            return false;
        el = el.parentNode;
    } while (el != document.body);
    // Check it's within the document viewport
    return top <= document.documentElement.clientHeight;
};

我只需要检查它在Y轴上是否可见(用于滚动Ajax加载更多记录功能)。
