Formatter hyperlink support about highcharts HOT 5 CLOSED

This had previously worked sometimes in an earlier version of highcharts. The text would render as a hyperlink but it would be below other layers of the graph and would not be clickable.

Links on the labels have never been officially supported by the API, so this is not a bug. The bad news is that HTML links won't work in 2.0. The good news is that you can add onclicks directly on the labels, and you won't have different layers blocking it like it was in 1.2. Many users are requesting the possibility of adding links on the labels, so it will be added at some point.

To add links, you can grab the labels by jQuery. Here's how to do it in SVG enabled browsers: http://jsfiddle.net/3FHTm/. In IE you can grab spans or divs the same way.

Thanks for the follow up. I think we should be able to work with it that way.

After some thought I found out this can be done by parsing the HTML string, and applying an onclick event to the SVG tspan.
