Scroll Automatically to the Bottom of the Page

I have a list of questions. When I click on the first question, it should automatically take me to a specific element at the bottom of the page.

How can I do this with jQuery?

jQuery isn’t necessary. Most of the top results I got from a Google search gave me this answer:

window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);

Where you have nested elements, the document might not scroll. In this case, you need to target the element that scrolls and use it’s scroll height instead.

window.scrollTo(0, document.querySelector(".scrollingContainer").scrollHeight);

You can tie that to the onclick event of your question (i.e. <div onclick="ScrollToBottom()" ...).
