Try this way,

Script

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('#slideshow').cycle({
            fx : 'fade',
            speed : 'slow',
            timeout : 5000,
            pager : '#slider_nav',
            pagerAnchorBuilder : function(idx, slide) {
                // return sel string for existing anchor
                return '#slider_nav li:eq(' + (idx) + ') a';
            }
        });

        $('#searchBox').on('keyup', function(event){
            addSearchHelp();
        });

    });

    function addSearchHelp() {
        var availableTags = [ "ActionScript", "AppleScript", "Asp", "BASIC",
                "C", "C++", "Clojure", "COBOL", "ColdFusion", "Erlang",
                "Fortran", "Groovy", "Haskell", "Java", "JavaScript", "Lisp",
                "Perl", "PHP", "Python", "Ruby", "Scala", "Scheme" ];
        $("input#searchBox").autocomplete({source:availableTags, minLength: 2});
    }

HTML

<input name="searchBox" id="searchBox" type="text" class="input-header" size="65" maxlength="60" onblur="this.value=Trim(this.value)" onkeypress="return checkenter(event,'product')" />

Hope this will help you.

Now it is throwing following exception uncaught typeerror object # object has no method 'on'............Is it someproblem with my loading of jquery files ??

What is the jQuery version you are using? try $('#searchBox').bind('keyup',.... or $('#searchBox').keyup(function(){......});. This will work.

Try:

$("input#searchBox").autocomplete({source:availableTags, minLength: 2});

You're trying to apply .autocomplete to a DOM object, not to the jQuery object it expects.

also directly use IDs of the html element for maximum performance. Hence $("#searchBox") instead of $("input#searchBox")..

I have changed it $("#searchBox").autocomplete({source:availableTags, minLength: 2}); Now it is throwing following exception uncaught typeerror object # object has no method 'autocomplete'
