Dynamically change the position of SVG element

Hi Everyone,

Is there a way of changing the left and top positions of an svg image imported from AI at run time using code?.

I tried converting it to a symbol and using:

sym.getSymbol("WholeCircle").css("left", 850);  //-- no luck

I tried using as an element:

sym.$("WholeCircle").css("left", 850); //Crome made my element disappear.
