Scroll a page automatically to a specific position using jQuery

If you have a requirement where you want to scroll your page to a certain position with animation, then here's a single line of jQuery code that does that:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head runat="server">

<title></title>

<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

    $(document).ready(function() {

                $('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: 850 }, 'slow'); 

    });     

</script>

</head>

<body>

<form id="form1" runat="server">
