Question

I’m using the Infobox plugin for Google Maps V3 API (http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/infobox/docs/reference.html)

Is there anyway too close the infobox when the user clicks outside the infobox like on the map?

You will want to use addListener()

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/events.html#EventListeners

You can adapt the code found here:

google.maps.event.addListener(_point.popup, 'domready', function() {
//Have to put this within the domready or else it can't find the div element (it's null until the InfoBox is opened)

    $(_point.popup.div_).hover(
        function() {
            //This is called when the mouse enters the element
        },
        function() {
            //This is called when the mouse leaves the element
            _point.popup.close();
        }
    );
});

You can detect a map click with this:

google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function() {

});
