Google Maps API V3 InfoBox using jQuery fadeIn and fadeOut

Question

I have searched the web high and low and have not been able to find a tutorial or example of using jQuery to fade an InfoBox/InfoWindow in Google Maps not the content the actual box/window. Here is my code, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but something also doesn't seem right.

google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'mouseover', function() {
    ib.setContent(html);
    ib.open(map, marker);
    ib.setValues({type: "point", id: 2})

   var idName = marker.get("id"); //I was trying to the id's of the elements here 
   var boxName = ib.get("id");    //to use in my jQuery

   jQuery(idName ).mouseover(function() {
      jQuery(boxName ).fadeIn('slow', function() {
    // Animation complete
   });
  });

});

It is actually possible to fadein the infobox, you have to override the draw function in the infobox.js file like this

var oldDraw = ib.draw;
ib.draw = function() {
   oldDraw.apply(this);
   jQuery(ib.div_).hide();
   jQuery(ib.div_).fadeIn('slow'); 
}
