Hi,

Add this in your block controller :
public function getJavaScriptStrings() {
      return array(
         'bID' => $this->bID
      );
   }


Then in auto.js, you can use :
ccm_t("bID");

@moosh's solution is good.
Another way to do it (which isn't better or worse, just a different style) is to declare a javascript variable in the add.php and edit.php files -- it will be available for the auto.js file to use. For example:
<script type="text/javascript">
var bID = <?php echo $bID; ?>;
</script>
