Mount InfoBox content and OverlayView content directly to their respective DOM

[thetiby]

Right now, an empty, otherwise useless, div is used to account for the fact that React needs to render to a DOM element. There's actually access to the underlying InfoBox/OverlayView div under instance.div_ which will eliminate the need for that React "crutch".

Thanks for the great discussion and open an issue for me! Will try to add a PR soon :)

I know this issue is super old, but could you provide some more insight into what the proposed solution is for removing the unneeded div so that something like z-index could be applied to an OverlayView @thetiby ?

I understand that you probably haven't thought about this since the day the issue opened, but I'd love to contribute to fix this but want to make sure I head down the right path.

@Jamez14 you might be able to apply the z-index to the child div that you have control over; if not, check the InfoBoxInstance.div_, if it still exits

I should've just tried to apply it to the child div from the start 🤦‍♂️ that did it. Thanks @thetiby !
