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.

That's a pretty neat plugin. Thanks Cesar.

Use the setTimeout/setInterval functions with some kind of global counter. If some kind of action/event occurs, the counter would be refreshed and the function would not execute. Would you like to specify in more detail what you would like to achieve?

Well, it's pretty theoretical at the moment, so there's no code down, but the idea would be that a div appears, and that the user can click on a button that would scroll the div to a certain location. However, if the user doesn't click, I would still want the div to move to that location (in case he/she doesn't get it that it would move, dunno).

Alright, that's pretty much exactly what I had in mind, thanks a bunch.
