[jQuery] Thickbox and autosuggest

[jQuery] Thickbox and autosuggest

I am trying to use the thickbox plugin with the result function of the autosuggest plugin and haven't had any success with that
$("#addCurrentLocation").result(function(event, data, formatted) {
     
       document.getElementById("prev_sightings").innerHTML = "<a href='locationinfo.php?id=" + data[1] + "' title='add a caption to title attribute / or leave blank' class='thickbox' >View Location Info</a>";
     
      });
<div id="prev_sightings"></div>
Basically, I pick up the "id" from the result function off the autosuggest and am generating a url. Now I would like the URL to open in a thickbox which isn't working. Can somebody help me with this.
