Disabling Handlebars in HighStock charts navigator

I\'ve searched through the API and there are lots of examples on disabling and styling both the scroll bar and the navigator. I want to keep both intact but disable the handleb

You can use setExtremes:

http://jsfiddle.net/B7vCR/3/

xAxis: {
                minRange:6 * 30 * 24 * 3600 * 1000,
                events: {
                    afterSetExtremes: function(e) {
                        var maxDistance = 10 * 30 * 24 * 3600 * 1000; //8 months time
                        var xaxis = this;
                        if ((e.max - e.min) > maxDistance) {
                            var min = e.max - maxDistance;
                            var max = e.max;
                            window.setTimeout(function() {
                                xaxis.setExtremes(min, max);
                            }, 1);
                        }
                    }
                }
            },
