Answer 1

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/CLzfW/4/

$('.button').click(function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  $('.expander').slideToggle();
    $('html, body').animate({
        scrollTop: 1000
    }, 2000);
});

Just use your .expander height.
If you need this to be variable you can do this: http://jsfiddle.net/CLzfW/26/

var scroll_to = $('.expander').offset().top + $('.expander').height();
$('.button').click(function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  $('.expander').slideToggle();
    $('html, body').animate({
        scrollTop: scroll_to
    }, 2000);
});

DEMO

USE :

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

UPDATE

Scrolling the div Demo

Use this , The trick is in scrollHeight see my answer here How do I get the “auto” height of a DIV

$('.button').click(function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  $('.expander').slideToggle();
  $('.expander ').animate({scrollTop: $('.expander')[0].scrollHeight}, 'slow');
  $('html, body').animate({scrollTop: $(document).height()}, 'slow');
});

Scroll Based on div scroll Height

Answer 3

$("#something").click(function() {
  $('html, body').animate({
     scrollTop: $("#element").offset().top
 }, 1000);
});

You are using a class name instead of an id. You must scroll to a unique element.

Answer 4

try this instead.

  $('.button').click(function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  $('.expander').slideToggle();
    $("html, body").animate({ scrollTop: $(document).height() }, 2000);
});
