Choosing inline SVG and jQuery

I have an embedded SVG in an HTML file. This SVG has an animation inside with the id "move".

If I call this animation using jQuery 1.9.1 to change its attributes like:

$("#move").attr("from", "500");

      

        
        
        
      

    

it works fine (at least in Firefox 16.0.1, I haven't tested other browsers).

If I try to run the animation using jQuery like this:

$("#move").beginElement();

      

        
        
        
      

    

it doesn't work, again in Firefox.

If I call it with JavaScript like this:

var move=document.getElementById("move");
move.beginElement();

      

        
        
        
      

    

it works.

How do I call a function beginElement()

using jQuery?

Thank.
