Why doesn't my jQuery script run in Wordpress?

Question

I tested the below script on a demo page that does not use CMS. The script is in the index.php file and it works fine.

<form method="get" action="">
  <input id="label_search" type="text" value="" maxlength="40" name="inputText"/>
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
  var options = {
      script:"includes/autosuggest.php?json=true&",
      varname:"input",
      minchars: 2,
      delay: 200,
      json:true,
      shownoresults:false,
      maxresults:15,
      timeout: 5000
  };

  var as_json = new bsn.AutoSuggest('inputText', options);
</script>

Now I want to use the same code in the Wordpress template file. But nothing happens. It looks like the script is not running at all.

I use a convenient URL and set custom permalinks to /% category% /% postname%. Maybe there is something to say?

I know that bsn.AutoSuggest_2.1.3.js is running because the test "alert ('hello") in the file runs when the page loads.

What could be wrong?

This is my WP code:

sl_startpage.php:

<?php
/*
Template Name: SL - Start page
*/ 
  get_header(); ?>
  <div id="myArea">
  <?php
    include_once('includes/storeLocator/sl_header.php');
  ?>
  </div>

<?php 
  get_footer(); 
?>

This is the (simple) code in sl_header.php:

  <div id="sl-header">
    <form method="get" action="">
      <input id="label_search" type="text" value="" maxlength="40" name="product_search"/>
    </form>                   
  </div>


  <script type="text/javascript">
    var options = {
        script:"includes/autosuggest.php?json=true&",
        varname:"input",
        minchars: 2,
        delay: 200,
        json:true,
        shownoresults:false,
        maxresults:15,
        timeout: 5000
    };
    var as_json = new bsn.AutoSuggest('product_search', options);
  </script>

Any suggestions anyone?
