Try this:
function deleteAjaxAsset(message, assetid)
{
var asseturl = $("#"+assetid.attr("href"));
alert(asseturl);
var confirmDelete = confirm(message);
if(confirmDelete == true)
{
if(action == "delete")
{
$.ajax(
{
type : "POST", url : asseturl + "?action=delete" }
);
}
}
}
$(this) refers to itself - since you had $(this) inside a function -
it's referring the the function itself.
if you had something that was somewhat like this
<a href="#" id="myid" onclic="myfunction($(this);)">Click</a>
It would send the properties of the "a" tag in which it's contained to
the argument of the function.
<a href="http://www.testpage.com"; onclick="deleteAjaxAsset('Are you
sure you want to delete?','testid'); return false;">Delete</a>
