I believe that is what $.data(element) does, it returns a unique id.
However, it only returns an integer number. I would prefer to combine
it with a few characters as well, but I suppose that isn't strictly
necessary.
Byron's function above is a good example of how you could use it. But
if you do
Why not just keep a "global" variable, like:
var _id = 0;
and when you create the new item, use that counter to make like "New_"
+ _id, and then increment the counter
you could use $.data() to get a unique id, something like:
$.extend($.fn, {
id : function () {
return this.each(function () {
$(this).attr("id", "jQuery_" + $.data(this));
});
}
});
example usage :
$('').id().appendTo('body');
result :
hope this helps :)
Bah...
Test if there's something in a document.getElementById( your_id ). If
there is, choose another id, if not, go on.
No?

Just generate a random number with Javascript, and throw in a few
characters for good measure. Like maybe the tagName followed by a four
or five (you could go higher if you'er paranoid) digit random number.
And/or you could use a time stamp of some sort.
If you want to go the extra mile, you coul
A quick Google search should give you a JS function that can return a
GUID type string that can be used as an ID. Here's a snippet I modified
for a custom object I needed once:
//create a GUID type identifier.
//NOTE: note truely unique, but duplicates are unlikely.

I don't think there is any equivalent in jQuery at present. It would be
useful though as I've had several occasions m
I'm not sure to understand your question but... If you want to
generate the id attribute, you can use
.attr('id', your_unique_id )
Is that what you were looking for? :)

You could use this little plugin--untested:
jQuery.fn.uniqueId = function(suffix, clobber) {
if ( suffix == null )
suffix = "UniqueId";
return this.each(function(){
if ( !this.id || clobber )
