I'm just going to hardcode it in using html that is around the graph, I don't want to use the built in.

I don't see a "disable: true" option in the API.

Can anybody help me out here.

How do you disable the title / subtitle in highcharts?

(if you simply leave the text blank it still carves out a whitespace in that spot where the title is, i'd like to not have this happen)

Setting the title text to an empty string is the way to do it.

No space is created for the title in that case:

without text: http://jsfiddle.net/jlbriggs/JVNjs/284/

with text: http://jsfiddle.net/jlbriggs/JVNjs/286/

title:{
    text:''
}

If you want less space than is left in that case, simply set your 'marginTop' to 0

{{edit due to numerous comments:

As pointed out a number of times below, the documentation now states text: null as the method to achieve this.

Either method achieves the desired result.
