jQuery itself might not meet your requirements for simple svg drag&drop (at this time), so you either have to make it do what you want or use another js framework. I'd recommend having a look at raphaël for example.

The values from event.clientX/Y are not in user units, they need to be converted. See e.g http://www.codedread.com/code.php#dragsvg for an example of dragging svg objects.

Thanks Erik. Actually, I made jQuery to work, but only for CSS properties. I'll have a look if it's easy to make it animate element's props.The result shall be a graph visualisation with nodes and navigation (load new nodes, hide some current). Will Rapael help to achieve this?

It's probably not that hard to get it to animate attributes, though there are some that require more work e.g path animations. If you're looking for code we have some examples over on http://svg-wow.org (CC0 licensed) that may be of help. E.g look at the animation done [here][1] (based on YUI2 extensions).[1] http://svg-wow.org/animations/svg-wow.html
