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,

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.
Not sure if you can refer to the actual field name but under quick testing I couldn't at least.
