Google infowindow is not displaying correctly using their API

I am using the Google map API to integrate the map into my website, I am using custom markers and infowindows. I have used this previously with no worries but now, when I click on my marker, the infowindow displays incorrectly.

I have tried to many different things to try and fix it but I just can't seem to figure out whats going on.

here is an image, I can't attach it to the post since I am new and all that.

Did you change your DOCTYPE recently? I once had the infowindow start doing funny things like that when I switched to a different DOCTYPE.

My DOCTYPE is <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> which is the same as the other project I was working on. I have never had it working on this project yet.With you saying that however, it might something else on the site somewhere that is breaking it. perhaps?

After looking, that was indeed the problem. It was something that was already on the page. I am still yet to find out what it was, but it's fixed. When I find out I will post here.

I tried all the doctypes I know of and couldn't get the infowindow to break like it did before. Google may have fixed that issue. Perhaps some conflicting CSS or JavaScript?

Well, I thought I had fixed it, but it turns out I didn't. To fix it I had to turn the the dreaded iframe. Sadly, it will have to stay that way until I find a better fix.
