Google Maps V3: Infowindows not resizing to fit information - google-maps-api-3

Question

Problem
I have a API V3 map, with a content window for each marker. The content of the infowindow stretches across multiple lines, but the infowindow does not resize to fit it all, causing an iframe-like scroll to appear.
I have looked at the setContent() method in the API which according to some posts on the API V3 mailing list should correct the issue. However, it looks like I've been putting into the wrong place thus causing the map not to load.
Infowindow content is populated from a field in the locations_array.
Map code
Here's the code I'm using, minus the setContent() method.
<script src="/_global/assets/scripts/jquery-1.2.6.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<script language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
//Google Maps
var myOptions = {
zoom: 5,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-26.66, 122.25),
mapTypeControl: true,

mapTypeControlOptions: { style: google.maps.MapTypeControlStyle.DROPDOWN_MENU },
navigationControl: true,
navigationControlOptions: { style: google.maps.NavigationControlStyle.SMALL }
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);

Answer 1

Try putting the html strings of infoWindowContent in a div with a class that has a width set then change:
content: this.infocontent
to be
content: $(this.infocontent)[0]
