为了详细说明大家的精彩回答，下面是Mozilla Fathom项目中使用的实现:

/**
 * Yield an element and each of its ancestors.
 */
export function *ancestors(element) {
    yield element;
    let parent;
    while ((parent = element.parentNode) !== null && parent.nodeType === parent.ELEMENT_NODE) {
        yield parent;
        element = parent;
    }
}

/**
 * Return whether an element is practically visible, considering things like 0
 * size or opacity, ``visibility: hidden`` and ``overflow: hidden``.
 *
 * Merely being scrolled off the page in either horizontally or vertically
 * doesn't count as invisible; the result of this function is meant to be
 * independent of viewport size.
 *
 * @throws {Error} The element (or perhaps one of its ancestors) is not in a
 *     window, so we can't find the `getComputedStyle()` routine to call. That
 *     routine is the source of most of the information we use, so you should
 *     pick a different strategy for non-window contexts.
 */
export function isVisible(fnodeOrElement) {
    // This could be 5x more efficient if https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4122 happens.
    const element = toDomElement(fnodeOrElement);
    const elementWindow = windowForElement(element);
    const elementRect = element.getBoundingClientRect();
    const elementStyle = elementWindow.getComputedStyle(element);
    // Alternative to reading ``display: none`` due to Bug 1381071.
    if (elementRect.width === 0 && elementRect.height === 0 && elementStyle.overflow !== 'hidden') {
        return false;
    }
    if (elementStyle.visibility === 'hidden') {
        return false;
    }
    // Check if the element is irrevocably off-screen:
    if (elementRect.x + elementRect.width < 0 ||
        elementRect.y + elementRect.height < 0
    ) {
        return false;
    }
    for (const ancestor of ancestors(element)) {
        const isElement = ancestor === element;
        const style = isElement ? elementStyle : elementWindow.getComputedStyle(ancestor);
        if (style.opacity === '0') {
            return false;
        }
        if (style.display === 'contents') {
            // ``display: contents`` elements have no box themselves, but children are
            // still rendered.
            continue;
        }
        const rect = isElement ? elementRect : ancestor.getBoundingClientRect();
        if ((rect.width === 0 || rect.height === 0) && elementStyle.overflow === 'hidden') {
            // Zero-sized ancestors don’t make descendants hidden unless the descendant
            // has ``overflow: hidden``.
            return false;
        }
    }
    return true;
}

它检查每个父元素的不透明度、显示和矩形。

改进了上面@Guy Messika的回答，如果中心点' X < 0是错误的，则中断并返回false，因为元素右侧可能会进入视图。这里有一个解决方案:

private isVisible(elem) {
    const style = getComputedStyle(elem);

    if (style.display === 'none') return false;
    if (style.visibility !== 'visible') return false;
    if ((style.opacity as any) === 0) return false;

    if (
        elem.offsetWidth +
        elem.offsetHeight +
        elem.getBoundingClientRect().height +
        elem.getBoundingClientRect().width === 0
    ) return false;

    const elementPoints = {
        center: {
            x: elem.getBoundingClientRect().left + elem.offsetWidth / 2,
            y: elem.getBoundingClientRect().top + elem.offsetHeight / 2,
        },
        topLeft: {
            x: elem.getBoundingClientRect().left,
            y: elem.getBoundingClientRect().top,
        },
        topRight: {
            x: elem.getBoundingClientRect().right,
            y: elem.getBoundingClientRect().top,
        },
        bottomLeft: {
            x: elem.getBoundingClientRect().left,
            y: elem.getBoundingClientRect().bottom,
        },
        bottomRight: {
            x: elem.getBoundingClientRect().right,
            y: elem.getBoundingClientRect().bottom,
        },
    };

    const docWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth || window.innerWidth;
    const docHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight || window.innerHeight;

    if (elementPoints.topLeft.x > docWidth) return false;
    if (elementPoints.topLeft.y > docHeight) return false;
    if (elementPoints.bottomRight.x < 0) return false;
    if (elementPoints.bottomRight.y < 0) return false;

    for (let index in elementPoints) {
        const point = elementPoints[index];
        let pointContainer = document.elementFromPoint(point.x, point.y);
        if (pointContainer !== null) {
            do {
                if (pointContainer === elem) return true;
            } while (pointContainer = pointContainer.parentNode);
        }
    }
    return false;
}

Chrome 105(以及Edge和Opera)和Firefox 106引入了element . checkvisibility()，如果元素是可见的，则返回true，否则返回false。

该函数检查了使元素不可见的各种因素，包括display:none、可见性、内容可见性和不透明度:

let element = document.getElementById("myIcon");
let isVisible = element.checkVisibility({
    checkOpacity: true,      // Check CSS opacity property too
    checkVisibilityCSS: true // Check CSS visibility property too
});

旁注:checkVisibility()以前被称为isVisible()。看这个GitHub问题。 参见这里的checkVisibility()规范草案。

2021的解决方案

根据MDN文档，交互观察器异步观察目标元素与祖先元素或顶级文档视口的交集中的变化。这意味着每当元素与视口相交时，交互观察器就会触发。

截至2021年，除IE外，目前所有浏览器都支持交集观测器。

实现

const el = document.getElementById("your-target-element");
const observer = new IntersectionObserver((entries) => {
    if(entries[0].isIntersecting){
         // el is visible
    } else {
         // el is not visible
    }
});

observer.observe(el); // Asynchronous call

The handler will fire when initially created. And then it will fire every time that it becomes slightly visible or becomes completely not visible. An element is deemed to be not-visible when it's not actually visible within the viewport. So if you scroll down and element goes off the screen, then the observer will trigger and the // el is not visible code will be triggered - even though the element is still "displayed" (i.e. doesn't have display:none or visibility:hidden). What matters is whether there are any pixels of the element that are actually visible within the viewport.

这是一种确定所有css属性(包括可见性)的方法:

html:

<div id="element">div content</div>

css:

#element
{
visibility:hidden;
}

javascript:

var element = document.getElementById('element');
 if(element.style.visibility == 'hidden'){
alert('hidden');
}
else
{
alert('visible');
}

它适用于任何css属性，非常通用和可靠。

来自http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.js的jQuery代码有一个isHidden参数

var isHidden = function( elem, el ) {
    // isHidden might be called from jQuery#filter function;
    // in that case, element will be second argument
    elem = el || elem;
    return jQuery.css( elem, "display" ) === "none" || !jQuery.contains( elem.ownerDocument, elem );
};

因此，看起来有一个与所有者文档相关的额外检查

我想知道这是否真的适用于以下情况:

基于zIndex隐藏在其他元素后面的元素 完全透明的元素使它们不可见 位于屏幕外的元素(即左:-1000px) 具有可见性的元素:隐藏 有显示的元素:无 没有可见文本或子元素的元素 高度或宽度设置为0的元素
