How to check if the element is visible

Question

How do i know if my element is visible or not using javascript. I'm using $('#element').hide();, $('#element').show(); to hidden or shown an element. How can i check if the element is shown? The element is in the modal. I tried to change the element which is not in the modal and it worked, but when i put the element inside the modal it's not working..

I tried using this code but it's not working.

    <div class="well me">
         <label for="majore">Major Exam</label>
            <div class="input-group">
                 <input type="text" class="form-control majore" id="majore" oninput="total();"/>
            <span class="input-group-addon">
              <i class="fa fa-percent"></i>
             </span>
              </div>
     </div>

     <script>
            if ($('.me').is(':visible')) {                          
                  mt = m / 100 * 50 + 50;
                } 
    </script>

Answer 1

 "none" == document.getElementById("element").style.display //Check for hide

 "block" == document.getElementById("element").style.display //Check for show

you can use like also

  if ($('#element').css('display') == 'none') {
    alert('element is hidden');
 }
