How do I check if an element is hidden in jQuery?

To check if an element is hidden in jQuery, you can use the is function and pass it the :hidden selector. The :hidden selector matches elements that are not visible, either because they have a display value of none, or because they are placed outside of the visible area of the document (e.g., using a negative left or top value).

Here is an example of how to use the :hidden selector to check if an element is hidden:

if ($('#my-element').is(':hidden')) {
  console.log('Element is hidden');
} else {
  console.log('Element is visible');
}

You can also use the is function to check if an element is visible by using the :visible selector, which matches elements that are visible on the page.

if ($('#my-element').is(':visible')) {
  console.log('Element is visible');
} else {
  console.log('Element is hidden');
}

Note that an element may be hidden due to its parent element being hidden, even if the element itself has a display value of block or inline. In this case, you can use the parents function to check if any of the element’s ancestors are hidden.

if ($('#my-element').parents(':hidden').length > 0) {
  console.log('Element is hidden');
} else {
  console.log('Element is visible');
}
