Noob Javascript question

So I have this script I found for autocomplete forms that runs off of a sql query on keyup. The problem I'm facing is sending the clicked item to the field you type in

function fill(thisValue) {
    $('#inputIdHere').val(thisValue);
    setTimeout("$('#suggestions').hide();", 200);
}

<input type="text" size="30" value="" id="inputIdHere" onkeyup="lookup(this.value, 'query.php');" onblur="fill();" />

mind you this isn't all of it but should be the section causing the problem. I want to either find the id currently 'inputIdHere' or I want to type it as a variable in fill();

but when I type it in fill i break thisValue as far as i can tell

halp?

I don't really get what you want to do, taking a guess.

$("input#inputIdHere").keyup(function(event) {
    if(event.keyCode == 38) {
        $.get("query.php");
    }
}).blur(function() {
    $(this).val($(this).attr("id"));
    setTimeout(function() {
        $("#suggestions").hide();
    }, 200);
});
