Help JS Event onclick to get ID

[Sereal_Killer]

im busy with a school project to create a photo viewer type site with java script.

the whole thing i being created from java script and im giving all the img's an ID tag

how do i go about getting the id of the img that i have just clicked.

i know my current code doesn't work properly in IE so help with that would be appreciated as well.

the reason i want the Id is so later i can hopefully use the info to determine which img to "zoom in" etc

function vulpagina()
	{
		alert("vulpagina geactiveerd, jej");
		var maindiv=document.getElementById("maindiv");
		
		for(i=1; i<26; i++)
		{
			var imgnr = i-1
			var div=document.createElement("div");
			var img=document.createElement("img");
			var br=document.createElement("br");
			var txt=document.createTextNode("dit is div " + i);

			img.src=album[imgnr].url;
			img.style.margin ="10px 50p";
			img.style.padding ="10px";
			img.style.height="80%";
			
			img.setAttribute('onclick','getImgId(this)');
			img.onclick = getImgId;

			div.setAttribute("id","divje" + i);
			div.appendChild(img)
			div.setAttribute('style','float:left');
			div.style.width="20%";
			div.style.height="20%";
			div.appendChild(txt);
			
			maindiv.appendChild(div);
			//alert("test");
		}
	}
		
function getImgId(obj)
{
		alert('test')
		imgId = event.srcElement.id	
		alert(imgId)		
}


    var album =
      [
        {
          url: 'images/0006787.jpg',
          landscape: false,
          description: 'Shadows to the sea...',
          photographer: 'Sander',
          date: new Date('12-8-1999')
        },
        {
          url: 'images/0004713.jpg',
          landscape: false
        },
        {
          url: 'images/0004720.jpg',
          landscape: false
        },
        {
          url: 'images/0004731.jpg',
          landscape: true
        }
      ];

{
		var target = e.target;
		if (window.event) e = window.event;
		var srcElement = e.srcElement? e.srcElement : e.target;
