Highlighting time series data

How did the Housing Price Index (HPI) change from 2000 to 2017 in the United States? In chapter 1 you created a basic time series plot that could start your investigation, but the inability to highlight an individual states' data was limiting. In this exercise, your task is to enable highlighting by state and investigate which states experienced the largest changes in HPI after the recession that started in December 2007.

plotly and crosstalk have already been loaded, and the code used to previously create the time series plot is shown.
