SearchPanes in separate Div

Hi, how can I place SearchPanes in a separate div container vertically?
The dom parameter is already used for the Buttons extensions.

<div id="content">
    <div id="dataTable"><table id="example" class="display" style="width:100%"></table></div>
    <div id="searchPane"></div>
</div>

And is it possible to add a event handler when a item in pane is clicked?
