    How about Raphaël – it’s SVG/VML.
    It says:

    Browser compatibility:

    Raphaël currently supports Firefox
    3.0+, Safari 3.0+, Opera 9.5+ and Internet Explorer 6.0+.

    Ability to draw shapes

    circle, rect, ellipse, image, text, path

    Ability to fill shapes with gradients

    yes

    Ability to have onclick and onmouseover events

    yes:

    … every graphical object you
    create is also a DOM object, so you
    can attach JavaScript event handlers
    or modify them later.

    Everything in the reference

    On top of that, there’s a plugin called gRaphael which makes the creation of charts easier.
