Firefox extension: Positioning panels

I'm making a Firefox extension and I want to position a XUL panel element exactly above a search box when a person types text in the search box-- almost like autocomplete. How do I do that?

Thanks!

Edit: I've been looking at using auto complete and using my own nxIAutoComplete implementation but I'm a bit too new to extension development to do that and know what I am doing. Can anyone provide any help? I feel the solution is simple, but I just can't figure it out. Thanks.
