Using Jquery preferably, how do I detect if an element is within the viewable client area of a browser?

I'm dynamically creating a menu from a dataset, and when the list grows too long, the height of the resulting menu causes part of it to fall below the browser bottom client area. How do I detect this and act accordingly?
