I've no idea how that should happen. What I've done in the past can be seen at http://www.achurchnearyou.com/eastbourne-st-andrew/ -- click "Find Us" to see the map. The white box at bottom right is a GControl which is built up in Javascript with the function legend_control(). The code creates an HTML element (a table in this case, it could be a lot simpler). Although I don't need to hide it, it could be given an id so that it could be hidden with document.getElementById("myControlId").style.display="none" I used a GControl so that infoWindows will avoid it. If all you want is a simple message which doesn't actually need to be part of the map, then ProbablyMike's CSS-driven div is by far the easiest way to go.
