I’m trying to test for something’s visibility with

$(this).css('display')=="none";

The problem is, it works in chrome, FF…but not in IE. I’ve tried IE 8 and 9 so far.

Does anyone know a work around? This is very frustrating as a bunch of people still use IE and I don’t want to lose that bunch of people.

    Use $(this).is(":visible") for a cross-browser solution.

    From the docs:

    Elements are considered visible if they consume space in the document.
    Visible elements have a width or height that is greater than zero.

    Elements with visibility: hidden or opacity: 0 are considered visible,
    since they still consume space in the layout.
