Question

how can i check a if an element is visible or hidden with jquery and perform some action?

below given is my form related code,

Last name: <input type="text" name="lastname"><br>
Full name: <input type="text" name="fullname"><br>
DOB: <input type="text" name="dob">

i need to hide the full name text field when first name text field or last name text field is displaying.

:hidden, or :visible selectors http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/visibility-filter-selectors/ — Evgeny Samsonov, Dec 25 '13 at 08:03

try something like this

if($('#testElement').is(':visible')){
   //what you want to do when is visible
}

for your code

if($('input[name="firstname"], input[name="lastname"]').is(':visible')){
  $('input[name="fullname"]').hide();
}

you should change

<input type="text" name="fullname"> 
to 
<input type="hidden" name="fullname">

to make an input field hidden

I don't know the logic behind your question, but this demo should do the trick. DEMO

$(document).ready(function(){
if($('#firstname').is(':visible') || $('#lastname').is(':visible'))
    $('#fullname').parent().hide();

})

I added some parent divs to hide the text and the input on once. If you want you can wrap the text in label tag for more clearly output.
