I've been wanting to do this for while now and didn't see how it can be done, or, if it can be accomplished?
I just crossed this juncture again today hoping to use tooltips in lieu of Google's standard InfoWindow on a Google Map. I would like to have more control over the presentation of the InfoWindow by using a Floatbox tooltip served from a hidden div on my page. I'm using your Google Maps example from the 'Code' tab of the demo page.
Is there a way to include the element with the tooltip as a variable in Google's initialize() function similar to something like this described from the API:
var myLink = fb.$('someAnchorId'); fb.start( myLink );
And then have Google's addListener() fire the variable myLink as a Tooltip or Context Box on mouseover, or onclick? Your Google example on the Demo page uses fb.start() to fire up an entire web page in a Floatbox window and I can't get my head around starting a tooltip instead when a user interacts with a Google marker.
I believe I can accomplish this task with Jquery and I'm starting to head down that road, but since I've already got the Floatbox library installed, I'd like to use it instead if it can work.
I found this thread asking a similar question.

Thanks for any input you have.
