Plain Javascript

I would recommend using an anonymous function as event handler.

lov_DgId_D_2.getElementsByTagName('a')[0].onclick = function (event) {
  DgIdOnClick(this.id);
}

Note: In this case, the this keyword refers to the clicked HTML Element. But maybe you want to use event.target.id instead of this.id.

Javascript using jQuery framework

Since you have tagged your question with jQuery, I assume you implemented it in your project and would be pleased to hear a clean and simple solution using jQuery.

$('a', lov_DgId_D_2).click(function () {
  DgIdOnClick(this.id);
}
