How to scroll to a newly added dom element?

javascript, jquery

Solution

Here's what I use for jQuery

$('html,body').animate({scrollTop: jQuery("#ID").offset().top},'slow');

Problem

Say the user is viewing a particular part of the page, when behind the scenes an auto update feature runs, and right above or below the user's screen some more content is added. I have the id of the newly added content's div. How can I smoothly scroll the user to the newly added div using jquery or plain javascript? Must work in all major browsers.
