Re: gteElementById for animate?

Probably because you're using Firefox 3.6 (or lower), which lacks SVG 
Animation support and hence doesn't recognize the <animate> node.

It treats it the same as it would treat e.g.
    <asdfasdf id="migrationAnimateX" ...>
(which it will also refuse to look up by ID)

In mozilla-central nightly builds (which have SMIL support), though, this 
works fine.  getElementById returns the animate element, and it 
successfully updates its 'to' attribute. I've posted an example here, 
using the javascript you provided, plus an 'alert' to demonstrate 
non-nullness:
