I couldn't do it your way, so here's what I did
I used this: 
http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/tags/infobox/1.0/src/infobox_packed.js

and this is my code:
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function() {
                if (infoBox) infoBox.close();
                infoBox = new InfoBox(
                {
                        latlng: marker.getPosition(),
                        map: map,
                        content: $("#mydiv").html() //mydiv contains another div
class="infoboxwindow", which is the one I have to style
                }
                );
                infoBox.open(map, marker);
    });

I don't understand if there's something wrong with it, provided that
I'd style width and height statically (or via jquery if I want)
