Post is old, May be it help someone...

function CheckDiv()
{
var ediv1 = document.getElementById('DIV1');
var ediv2 = document.getElementById('DIV2');

 ediv1.top = $(ediv1).offset().top;
 ediv1.left = $(ediv1).offset().left;
 ediv1.right = Number($(ediv1).offset().left) + Number($(ediv1).width());
 ediv1.bottom = Number($(ediv1).offset().top) + Number($(ediv1).height());

 ediv2.top = $(ediv2).offset().top;
 ediv2.left = $(ediv2).offset().left;
 ediv2.right = Number($(ediv2).offset().left) + Number($(ediv2).width());
 ediv2.bottom = Number($(ediv2).offset().top) + Number($(ediv2).height());

if (ediv1.right > ediv2.left && ediv1.left < ediv2.right && ediv1.top < ediv2.bottom && ediv1.bottom > ediv2.top)
 {
alert("hi");
}

if (ediv1.left > ediv2.left && ediv1.top > ediv2.top && ediv1.right < ediv2.right && ediv1.bottom < ediv2.bottom)
 {
alert("hello");
    }
}
