Draw lines on HTML page from one div to another

Question

I want to be able to draw lines on a webpage from one div to another. I've looked around, but all I've seen are hacks that rotate webkit images like this one. Raphel.js is another possiblity, but I'd prefer to avoid importing an entire library if I can. I also need to make sure it works in all browsers.

Is this possible, or am I off my rocker?

UPDATE: I tried Raphael, no dice. Creating the object overwrites what I currently have. Code (In case I did something wrong):

window.onload = function() {
        var paper = new Raphael(document.getElementById('image'), 1024, 768);/*
        var line = paper.path("M 250 250 l 0 -50 l -50 0 l 0 -50 l -50 0 l 0 50 l -50 0 l 0 50 z");
    };

Do they need to be straight lines are can they be vertical and horizontal connected by right angles — jeffery_the_wind

No framework AND working on all browsers is a pretty tall order. — Diodeus - James MacFarlane

While I could not find a way to do this without a framework, I did find a cross-browser solution in jsPlumb. (Thanks to jeffery_the_wind)
