Is there a way to detect whether any given DIV is visible? I.e., not only is .style.visibility set to visible, but that it isn't inside any other element that makes it invisible. We can exclude any issues of the element being out of view because below the screen fold, or covered up by something else (although that would be neat). The problem I'm having is that when I detect a DIV's visibility attribute, this doesn't tell me if it is overridden by some other DIV.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. Usually used to change web pages and user interfaces written in HTML, it can also be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is designed primarily to distinguish the content of a document from its presentation.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.
