My Charts is not displaying the balloon and I do not understand why. I have a ballon displaying on the y cursor, I can change it to display the value of x axis, but i cannot display a balloon that would display the x axis value in a balloon either on the x cursor or following the value line.
AmCharts.makeChart("chartdiv",
{
"type": "xy",
"pathToImages": "http://cdn.amcharts.com/lib/3/images/",
"startDuration": 1.5,
"handDrawn": true,

},

{ and many more like that ...},
I have updated your fiddle here...

What you need to do is basically refer to the x or y axis rather than a field name. You also need to add bullet points to the chart to make the balloons appear.
"graphs": [
{
"id": "AmGraph-4",
"balloonText": "[[x]] (km)", /*CHANGED THIS LINE*/
"bullet": "round", /*ADDED THIS LINE*/
"bulletSize": 1, /*ADDED THIS LINE*/
"title": "graph 4",
"valueAxis": "Not set",
"lineColor": "#59C45C",
"lineThickness": 3,
"fillAlphas": 0.13,
"fillColors": "#59C45C",
"fillToAxis": "ValueAxis-2",
"xAxis": "Distance (km)",
"xField": "Distance (km)",
"yField": "Elevation (m)"
}
],
Not sure if you can refer to the actual field name but under quick testing I couldn't at least.
