You need to pass the current element context in inline click handler like

<button onClick="ShowModal(this)" data-id="217496D-P078"></button>

Then use the passed element reference to get the data-id. You can also use HTMLElement.dataset property like elem.dataset.id

function ShowModal(elem){
    var dataId = $(elem).data("id");
    alert(dataId);
}

Additionally, I would recommend you use jquery to bind event handler's instead of ugly inline click handler.

One of the important part of jquery is manipulate the DOM.

DOM = Document Object Model : Document Object Model (DOM) is a platform and language-neutral interface that allows programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content, structure, and style of a document.

It has several DOM Manipulation :

Get Content : text(), html(), and val()
Get Attributes : attr()

Now if u have to access a particular attribute on click of button or something else then use this :

so here is my HTML

<p><a href="http://www.google.com" id="test" data-id="id_12345">google.com</a></p>

<button>Click Here</button>

then u have to access the attributes of anchor tag like this:

$("button").click(function(){
    alert($("#test").attr("href")); // output : http://www.google.com
    alert($("#test").attr("data-id")); // output : id_12345
});

Please edit with more information. Code-only and "try this" answers are discouraged, because they contain no searchable content, and don't explain why someone should "try this". — abarisone, Sep 01 '16 at 07:52

                alert($(this).attr("data-id"));

You can use Javascript's dataset or JQuqery data method:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('button').on('click', function() {
    console.log(this.dataset.id, $(this).data().id, $(this).data('id'));
  });
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<tbody>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <button type="button" data-id="1">btn #1</button>
      <button type="button" data-id="2">btn #2</button>
      <br>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <button type="button" data-id="3">btn #1</button>
      <button type="button" data-id="4">btn #2</button>
      <br>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <button type="button" data-id="5">btn #1</button>
      <button type="button" data-id="6">btn# 2</button>
      <br>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <button type="button" data-id="7">btn #1</button>
      <button type="button" data-id="8">btn #2</button>
      <br>
    </td>

Your code is correct, all need to do is pass this to your function like:

<button class="btn btn-xs btn-flat" data-toggle="modal" data-id="204093D-P132" data-target="#myModal" type="button" title="Add" onClick="ShowModal(this)"><i class="fa fa-plus" aria-hidden="true"></i></button>

You have to create unique data-id in your code data-id not unique.


data-id="217496D-P078" data-target="#myModal" type="button" title="Add" 
data-id="217496D-P078" data-target="#myModal_edit" type="button" title="
data-id="217496D-P078" data-target="#myModal_details" type="button" titl

then

Try this

<button onClick="ShowModal(this)" data-id="217496D-P078"></button>


function ShowModal(elem){
    var dataId = $(elem).data("id");
    alert(dataId);
}
