Then you can do something like this: Have a setTimeout (say, executes in 20 seconds) with a callback function, say "moveToLocation".
Then you need a way to find out whether the div has been scrolled to the certain location or not. That can be done by checking either for the user's top/left coordinate of their screen, or you can set a variable when the user clicks on that "button". After the 20 seconds comes by and the moveToLocation function is called, it checks for that location (or some variable you set). If it's true (meaning, the user has scrolled to the certain location), then do nothing. Otherwise, do the auto-scroll. The idea is that the moveToLocation is called no matter what. It's just that whether you do the actual action or not depends on the state of things.
