I think i did what you want. You will need jQuery for this.

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

<div id="text" style="width:500px;height:200px;border:solid 1px grey;overflow:scroll;">
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll1<br/>
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll2<br/>
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll3<br/>
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll4<br/>
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll5<br/>
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll6<br/>
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll7<br/>
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll8<br/>
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll9<br/>
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll10<br/>
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll11<br/>
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll12<br/>
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll13<br/>
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll14<br/>
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll15<br/>
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll16<br/>
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll17<br/>
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll18<br/>
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll19<br/>
    <input type="checkbox" />Auto-scroll20<br/>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
    var ct = $('#text'),
        cboxes = $('input[type="checkbox"]', ct),
        lastChecked = null;

    cboxes.click(function() {
        if (!lastChecked)
            lastChecked = this;

        var _current = $(this),
            _last = $(lastChecked),
            cindex = cboxes.index(_current),
            lindex = cboxes.index(_last),
            t = null;

        //next
        if (cindex >= lindex) {
            t = $(cboxes[cindex + 1]);
            if (t) ct.animate({ scrollTop: ct.scrollTop() + t.height() * 1.5 }, 500);

        //prev
        } else if (cindex < lindex) {
            t = $(cboxes[cindex - 1]);
            if (t) ct.animate({ scrollTop: ct.scrollTop() - t.height() * 1.5 }, 500);
        }

        lastChecked = this;
    });
});
</script>

see this
