unable to select element by id

unable to select element by id

I have the strangest error, I'm running jquery-2.1.0.min.js
for some reason I can't animate an element when its selected by id.
  1. $(document).ready(function(){
  2.   $("#sddm li").click(function(){
  3. $("#acuronlogo").animate({left:'250px'});
  4.   });
  5. });
other functions such as .hide() will do work
  1. $(document).ready(function(){
  2.   $("#sddm li").click(function(){
  3. $("#acuronlogo").hide();
  4.   });
  5. });

.animate() is functional when I animate selecting by div
  1. $(document).ready(function(){
  2.   $("#sddm li").click(function(){
  3. $("div").hide();
  4.   });
  5. });
