How to move a marker in an OpenLayers.Layer.Markers layer?

Question

How can I programmatically move an existing marker on an OpenLayers.Layer.Markers layer? I can\'t seem to find a proper way.

Is this supported at all? O

This is not a fully working example demonstrating moving marker on click event

coffeescript:

projection_4326 = new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326") #Transform from WGS 1984
projection_900913 = new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:900913") # Spherical Mercator Projection
markers = new OpenLayers.Layer.Markers( "Markers")
marker = new OpenLayers.Marker(new OpenLayers.LonLat(0,0).transform(projection_4326, projection_900913), icon)
markers.addMarker(marker)
map = new OpenLayers.Map(...init...stuff)
map.addLayers([markers])
map.events.register "click", map, (e) ->
            opx = map.getLayerPxFromViewPortPx(e.xy)
            lonLat = map.getLonLatFromPixel(e.xy)
            # now, if your coordinates are in EPSG:4326 you would have to convert the lonLat here
            #new_position = marker.lonlat.transform(projection_4326, projection_900913)
            marker.map = map
            marker.moveTo(opx) #or new_position
