moveto is for the window object or layers (netscape4) ...

you want:

thiscontent.style.top = parseInt(thiscontent.style.top) + changeinheight;
thiscontent.style.left = parseInt(thiscontent.style.left) + changeinwidth;

You need to use parseInt because the value is in pixels ie. 12px

I've seen problems in the past where you get .style.top and style.left is 
undefined, so you need to make sure thiscontent has styles set, along the 
lines of style="position: absolute; top: 20px; left: 20px" ...
