Google Map v3 - Center a infowindow when opened

Question

I have a Google Map that works fine but I just need to tweak it so that when a marker is clicked and opens up a info window, I'd like that marker (and the map) to center on the screen. This is so that the info window is the direct focus.

If it helps, I'm using Infobox.js to create the infowindows. I've tried using Offset

pixelOffset: new google.maps.Size(-97, -20)

but this doesn't center the infowindow or the map when you open the marker and its not accurate.

My code (live example):

var ib = new InfoBox();

function initialize() { 
var mapOptions = {
  zoom: 12,
  center: new google.maps.LatLng(52.204872,0.120163),
  mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
  styles: styles,
  scrollwheel: false
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'),mapOptions);

    google.maps.event.addListener(map, "click", function() { ib.close() });

setMarkers(map, sites);
    infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
    content: "loading..."

});
}

var sites = [
['The Frontroom', 52.202977,0.138938, 1, '<p>The Frontroom <br/>23-25 Gwydir Street, Cambridge, CB1 2LG <br/>01223 305 600 <br/> <a href="http://www.frontroomcambridge.com/">Website</a></p>'],

];

function createMarker(site, map){
var siteLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(site[1], site[2]);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    position: siteLatLng,
    map: map,
    title: site[0],
    zIndex: site[3],
    html: site[4],
    icon: "http://visualartscambridge.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/map-dot.png"
});

var boxText = document.createElement("div");
boxText.style.cssText = "margin-top: -200px; height:200px; background: white; padding: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 6px; -moz-border-radius: 6px; border-radius: 6px;";
boxText.innerHTML = marker.html;

};

google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function (e) {
 ib.close();
 ib.setOptions(myOptions);
 ib.open(map, this);
});
return marker;
}

function setMarkers(map, markers) {

for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
createMarker(markers[i], map);
}
}

google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

Answer 1

Add a call to google.maps.Map.setCenter in the marker click listener. This will center the map on the marker:

google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function (e) {
 ib.close();
 ib.setOptions(myOptions);
 ib.open(map, this);
 map.setCenter(this.getPosition());
});
