jQuery event to trigger action when a div is made visible

Question

I\'m using jQuery in my site and I would like to trigger certain actions when a certain div is made visible.

Is it possible to attach some sort of \"isvisible\" even

Answer 1

a hide/show event trigger based on Glenns ideea: removed toggle because it fires show/hide and we don't want 2fires for one event

$(function(){
    $.each(["show","hide", "toggleClass", "addClass", "removeClass"], function(){
        var _oldFn = $.fn[this];
        $.fn[this] = function(){
            var hidden = this.find(":hidden").add(this.filter(":hidden"));
            var visible = this.find(":visible").add(this.filter(":visible"));
            var result = _oldFn.apply(this, arguments);
            hidden.filter(":visible").each(function(){
                $(this).triggerHandler("show");
            });
            visible.filter(":hidden").each(function(){
                $(this).triggerHandler("hide");
            });
            return result;
        }
    });
});
