Google Maps API InfoWindow not Displaying content

My Code looks like this:

var map = /*some google map - defined earlier in the code*/;
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var address = 'Some Address, Some Street, Some Place';
geocoder.geocode({'address':address},function(results,status){
    if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
        map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
        var infobox = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
            content: 'Hello world'
        });
        for(i in results){
            var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                map: map, 
                position: results[i].geometry.location
            });
            google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
                infobox.setContent('blablabla');
                infobox.open(map,marker);
                alert(infobox.content); //displays 'blablabla'
            });
        }
    }
});

Basically it's creating some markers on a single map based on a given address-string. It adds an infoWindow to the markers that opens on click.

Problem is: the infoWindow displays empty.

I just ran into the same problem, and found the very simple cause of it: The text in the info window was actually displayed, but in white color, and therefore just not visible on the white background. Giving the content a different color via CSS solved the problem for me.
