chart

I need to build a custom designed bar chart that displays some simple data. Below are my requirements. Can anyone suggest the best web technology for my requirements.

high browser compatibility
ability to draw shapes
ability to fill shapes with gradients
ability to have onclick and onmouseover events for the different shapes (bars in the chart).

Thanks guys. I was thinking of using svg but looking for suggestions.
