JS variable selection does not work

First I'd like to say that I saw an answer for this question on stackoverflow (mentioned down) but it didn't solve my problem. for some reason the thisone variable at the bottom does not hide the element. I also tried $("'#" + thisone + "'"), but it also didn't work. However, alert shoes the correct id value (kida), and when I just replace thisone with $('#kida') it works. What is wrong?

$('input').click(function() {
  var thisone = this.id;
  var flname = this.alt.split(" ").splice(0, 2).join(" ");
  $("#pop").show(500);
  $("#fields").click(function() {
    if ($("#field").val() == "ani") {
      $('#pop').hide();
      alert(thisone);
      $(thisone).hide();
    }
  })
});

You don't need single quotes here before hash and after the id. Just write:

$("#" + thisone)
