Re: How can I click on my small chart to open a web page (bigger chart)

How you go about it depends on whether or not you have set the "forceIFrame" option to false or not (currently defaults to true, will soon default to false) - setting it to true renders the charts in an iFrame, false without the iFrame (in all browsers other than IE < 9).  If you have not set the forceIFrame option to false, then use this:

google.visualization.events.addListener(chart, 'ready', function () {
    if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version < 9) {
        $('#chart_div').find('iframe').contents().find('group').click(function () {
            alert('test');
        });
    }
    else {
        $('#chart_div').find('iframe').contents().find('svg').click(function () {
            alert('test');
        });
    }
}); 

if you have set it to false, then use this:

google.visualization.events.addListener(chart, 'ready', function () {
    if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version < 9) {
        $('#chart_div').find('iframe').contents().find('group').click(function () {
            alert('test');
        });
    }
    else {
        $('#chart_div').find('svg').click(function () {
            alert('test');
        });
    }
}); 

The latter case is recommended, as the default value of the option will change soon anyway.

I tried jquery:

but alert is not firing.

I see a 'select' event but from what I understand that only works when I click a data point, bar or line, etc in a chart.
