How can I get the "id" of the current visible div

I have tried

var currentVis = $("div:visible");
alert(currentVis);

If the div in question is like: <div id="DIVONE"> I want var currentVis to alert DIVONE. All I get is object object.

$("div:visible").each(function(){
if($(this).attr("id")=="DIVONE"){
    //do somethings
}});

If your selector finds a div, just refer to its id via:

currentVis[0].id

var currentVis = $("div:visible");
alert(currentVis[0].id);

 -or-

alert(currentVis.attr("id"));
