Ok, the panel is a node in an HTML document, referenced by
this.panelNode in the panel objects.

That would not be the normal Firebug way. You want to avoid any
rendering that the user will not see. In fact your panel will not even
be created until the user selects it for the first time.
Let's assume you don't have any scaling issues, meaning that you can
compute the contents of the panel in < 500ms independent of the web
site size.
Then the simplest solution is implement panel.show(state). This method
is called when your panel is clicked. Just put the logic of the button
in there and you should have a start.
More typically a panel will use show() activate tool bar buttons and
hide() to deactivate them. Typically a panel is assigned datatype, eg
HTML, DOM, or Script. These panel do rendering when the object is sent
to them with select, in their updateSelection() or updateLocation()
methods.
