Determining id of clicked item

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 20.2005

I have an input button inside of a div tag. I need a way to determine the id of the div tag that contains the button so that when the button is clicked, the onclick handler can pass that div tag’s id to a function. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
