Boilerpipe Text	I'm using JS as a way of changing the content of an SPA I'm creating. When I press a button to change the content the HTML changes from this: < div id = "selectDiv" style = "display: none;" > to this: < div id = "selectDiv" style > Now part of my SPA has a div that contains a number of checkboxes, each representing a div, and so when I press the submit button, the next div that should be displayed will be the first item in the checkbox list that was selected. I'm wondering if there's a way in JQuery for the code to "almost detect" which div is now visible. something like this: if ($('#selectDiv') .isVisible ()){ //JS code associated with this div. } Any suggestions?
