I have created a very simple test case of a line chart with two data series which have a common data point. When I click on the common data point I only ever get a mouse up event for the second series. Is there any simple way for a user to select the first series?

When 2 points are in the same position on the chart, only the event for the last series is fired. I'm not really sure what is your case, but you can try switching your series positions or remove the markers from the first series.

Thanks Dragan for the quick response.

I am planning to use the charts to show data to users and I want to have a 'drill down' feature. The event on the data points is just what I need. All OK so far. If I then put two series on the same chart it still works because I can send back the series that the user has clicked on for the drill down. But then I though, what happens if the two series go through the same point? If the user clicks on the common data point they can't select the series that they want to drill down, so I wondered if there was anything in the library that would help. I can write a small popup to ask the user which series they want so it's no great problem if there is nothing in the library.

Unfortunately, currently jqChart doesn't provide additional functionality for selecting data points, which are in the same place. We'll try implementing something that helps in this cases in some of the next releases.
