Autocomplete using javascript - newb question

I'm new to javascript and I'm trying to use
http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/autocomplete.htm but I don't
understand the documentation.

I want to use http://code.google.com/p/searchable-behaviour-for-cakephp/
and the box I want the autocomplete to work its magic on is the
searchable search box.

I have no problem getting the searchable to work but in the docs for
the autocomplete it just says copy the files to the relevant places
and then use: $("selector").autocomplete(url [, options]); to make it
work.

eg:
$("#input_box").autocomplete("autocomplete_ajax.cfm");
In the above example, Autocomplete expects an input element with the
id "input_box" to exist. When a user starts typing in the input box,
the autocompleter will request autocomplete_ajax.cfm with a GET
parameter named q that contains the current value of the input box

But I don't understand where I'm meant to put that bit of code. Do I
just include the js files somehow and simply name my searchable field
"input_box"? Or I'm I meant to call the js somehow in in the
controller or view or something?

confused
