Detect when elements within a scrollable div are out of view

I need to find a good solution to the following problem. I see a lot of people asking about tracking if an element is in or outside of view Port for the page or browser window. I need to be able to replicate this action, but inside a DIV that scrolls, with overflow:scroll for example. Does anyone know of a good example, for this specific action?

Thanks in advance.

i had the same problem before, i have ended up with the following function.the first parameter is for the element to check, the second is to check if the element is partially in-view.it is for vertical check only, you can extend it to check for horizontal scroll.

function checkInView(elem,partial)
{
    var container = $(".scrollable");
    var contHeight = container.height();
    var contTop = container.scrollTop();
    var contBottom = contTop + contHeight ;

    var elemTop = $(elem).offset().top - container.offset().top;
    var elemBottom = elemTop + $(elem).height();

    var isTotal = (elemTop >= 0 && elemBottom <=contHeight);
    var isPart = ((elemTop < 0 && elemBottom > 0 ) || (elemTop > 0 && elemTop <= container.height())) && partial ;

    return  isTotal  || isPart ;
}

check it on jsFiddle .
