To be more specific, in this article you will find that the list item id is retrieved by using Xslt code in the dataview web part :
here is the code :
<xsl:attribute name=”onclick”>
<xsl:text>javascript:StartWorkflow(‘</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select=”@EncodedAbsUrl” disable-output-escaping=”yes”/>
<xsl:text>’,'</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select=”@ID” disable-output-escaping=”yes”/>
<xsl:text>’);</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
