Its because this is inaccessible. DEMO

$(function ()
{
    $(document).on('click', "#MyId", function () { MyId_Click(this); });
});
function MyId_Click(obj)
{
    var theId = $(obj).attr('id'); 
    alert(theId);
}

It's because $(this) is referring to nothing? $(this) usually means your selected item.. which in your case is nothing since inside that function it's not pointing to any element. You can do it like this

$(function (){
   $(document).on('click', "#MyId", function () { 
       var theId = $(this).prop('id'); //$(this).id does not work either.
       alert(theId);
   });
});
