Why am I not able to drilldown to a chart on the same page in Simple XML using Splunk 6.0.3?

<table>
  <title>Set sourcetype token on click</title>
  <searchString>
    index=_internal | stats count by sourcetype
  </searchString>
  <earliestTime>-4h</earliestTime>
  <latestTime>now</latestTime>
  <drilldown>
      <set token="token">$click.value$</set>
  </drilldown>
</table>
<chart depends="$token$">
  <title>Chart for $token$</title>
  <searchString>
    index=_internal sourcetype=$token$ | timechart count by sourcetype
  </searchString>
  <earliestTime>-4h</earliestTime>
  <latestTime>now</latestTime>

</chart>

Im using an xml like the one above and on clicking the table row i'm being redirected to search window instead having opened the chart. Please help find what is that im missing here . Is the version old for this feature?

Contextual (in-page) drilldown was a new feature added to Splunk 6.1.

It is described further in both the docs as well as the Splunk 6.1 Overview app.
