$.extend($.expr[':'],{
    inView: function(a) {
        var st = (document.documentElement.scrollTop || document.body.scrollTop),
            ot = $(a).offset().top,
            wh = (window.innerHeight && window.innerHeight < $(window).height()) ? window.innerHeight : $(window).height();
        return ot > st && ($(a).height() + ot) < (st + wh);
    }
});

if ($('#whatever').is(':not(:inView)')) {
    $('html,body').animate({ 
         scrollTop: $('#whatever').offset().top 
    }, 3000);
