Placing an infobox (overlay) manually near a pointer (overlay) on OpenStreetMaps

I am using some "advanced" pointers and infoboxes on my OpenStreetMap. Those markers and infoboxes is made as overlayes containing HTML. It is all working fine :-) But I am having a problem. I am always showing the infoboxes below the pointer (using lat and long for the pointer), but when a pointer i places near the top of the map, then I need to show the infoBox below the pointer. I have tried to solve that issue by multiplying the latitude with a number, but the number is depended on zoom level and latitude.
So my question is, is there a way to calculate a point, so it is always placed in the same visual distance from the pointer, on behalf of a given lat and long (the pointer)?
