Jqplot “failed chart” option?

Question

I am using jqplot and for the life of me I can't get it to work on IE8 or IE7. Nevermind I would be happy for it to just work on IE9, Firefox Etc, but I need a message to be displayed if the chart is not successful.

I tried placing a message in the div tags of the chart div, but the problem is that the contents of the div remain even if the chart is rendered.

So is there a way to handle an event of the chart successfully being displayed on which I can write code to hide the message asking them to upgrade their browser?
