<div id="ID1" onclick="clickable(this)">Div 1</div>
...
function clickable(el) {
alert(el.id); // gives ID1
}
Note that when onclick is set his way (as opposed to within javascript) the value must be a statement
onclick="clickable" BAD
onclick="clickable()" OK
onclick="clickable(this)" OK
onclick="alert(this.id)" OK

Great, thanks. Glad I asked -- never would have gotten that on my own.
Just to follow up, the only way I could get el.id to work in a jQuery command was to use:
$("#" + el.id).show();
Is that the only/best way to code it? Seems a little complex for a simple var.

For that you do not need to get the id or even give it an id in the first place.
$(el).show();

Ouch -- that was easy.
My javascript ignorance is showing. Some day I'll be able to afford a professional programmer to do my website. Until then, you guys are life savers.
Many thanks, DaveVk.
