Solution 2:

You can give the elements a style of position: fixed or position: absolute depending on your needs.

<div id="myImgId" style="width: 200px; height: 200px; background:#000;" onmousedown="doSomething()" onmouseup="return false;">
<img style="position:fixed;" src="http://images.nationalgeographic.com/wpf/media-live/photos/000/005/cache/domestic-cat_516_600x450.jpg" width="200" height="200" />
    <svg style="position:fixed;top:50px" id="svgOne" width="200" height="200"><rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="red"/></svg>
</div> 

Note that the x and y attributes of outer <svg> elements are ignored. You'd need to use top and left styles to position it just as you would a html element.
