If I were you I wouldn't let JavaScript do the randomizing, I would do it server-side instead, providing a request that returns a random record and pinging it with a simple AJAX query ; this way, JavaScript doesn't need to be aware of what you want to send and it doesn't select the id client-side (without the database nearby).
