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?

Just state the entire problem and I'll make you somthing better, you are clearly too stupid to be able subclass the problem areas and spoonfeed those.
