I have a collection of divs with the same class at various positions on a larger div. Is there a way, using jQuery, to determine if any divs are overlapping a given position on the screen?

Read the section on document.elementFromPoint(): http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2010/06/more_ie9_goodne.html
You can use this to find the “top-most” element at that location. Hide that element, then ask again. If you get another hit, then the 2 divs overlap at that position.
