Use the jQuery :hidden
Selector
The jQuery :hidden
selector can be used to test whether an element is hidden or not on a page.
You can also use this selector to test the elements whose width
and height
are set to 0 as well as the form elements with the attribute type="hidden"
. Let's see how it works:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery Test If an Element is Hidden</title>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
// show hide paragraph on button click
$("p").toggle("slow", function(){
// check paragraph once toggle effect is completed
if($("p").is(":hidden")){
alert("The paragraph is hidden.");
} else{
alert("The paragraph is visible.");
}
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button type="button">Toggle Paragraph Display</button>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet adipi elit...</p>
</body>
</html>
