How do I know which link was clicked?

Question

How do I get a link to link to link to remove the correct line?

<tr>
<td>c1r1</td>
<td>c2r1</td>
<td><a href="javascript:delete_row();">delete</a></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>c1r2</td>
<td>c2r2</td>
<td><a href="javascript:delete_row();">delete</a></td>
</tr>

function delete_row() {
    this.parent().parent().remove();
}

I know what I can use (in jQuery)

$('a').click(function() {
    this.parent().parent().remove();
}

Or even that

$('a').live('click', function() {
    this.parent().parent().remove();
});

To bind a function to dynamically created links.

But I'm looking for a way to get a link to a link without jquery. I use jquery inside a function, but that is not the point.

Edit Many suggest using thisfunction as a parameter, I tried this, but it returns window:

<a href="javascript:delete_row(this);">delete</a>

function delete_row(elem) {
    console.log(elem);
}

Firebug console: Window config_maker.php
