jQuery scroll to element

I have this input element:
<input type="text" class="textfield" value="" id="subject" name="subject">
Then I have some other elements, like other text inputs, textareas, etc.
When the user clicks on that input with #subject, the page should scroll to the last element of the page with a nice animation. It should be a scroll to bottom and not to top.
The last item of the page is a submit button with #submit:
<input type="submit" class="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="Ok, Done.">
The animation should not be too fast and should be fluid.
I am running the latest jQuery version. I prefer to not install any plugin but to use the default jQuery features to achieve this.


Answer:

Assuming you have a button with the id button, try this example:
$("#button").click(function() {
    $('html, body').animate({
        scrollTop: $("#elementtoScrollToID").offset().top
    }, 2000);
});
I got the code from the article Smoothly scroll to an element without a jQuery plugin. And I have tested it on the example below.
<html>
    <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function (){
            $("#click").click(function (){
                $('html, body').animate({
                    scrollTop: $("#div1").offset().top
                }, 2000);
            });
        });
    </script>
    <div id="div1" style="height: 1000px; width 100px">
        Test
    </div>
    <br/>
    <div id="div2" style="height: 1000px; width 100px">
        Test 2
    </div>
    <button id="click">Click me</button>
</html>
