You need to set the position to "absolute", and then set the top and left properties. DOMElement simply sets the transform of the object.

Here is a quick sample, using a Tween to tween the shape. http://jsfiddle.net/TeVZ6/

var stage = new createjs.Stage("canvas");

var html = document.createElement('div');
html.id = 'ab';
html.style.height = '50px';
html.style.width = '100px';
html.style.backgroundColor = '#000000';
html.style.position = "absolute";
html.style.top = 0;
html.style.left = 0;

document.body.appendChild(html);

var gg = new createjs.DOMElement(html);
gg.x = 20;
gg.y = 20;
stage.addChild(gg);
stage.update();

createjs.Tween.get(gg).to({x:400}, 1000);
createjs.Ticker.addEventListener("tick", stage);
