Hi,
Sometimes, I find it necessary to generate an id for an element,
so I created the following little plugin.
I'm posting it here in case it may be of use to anyone else,
and as a possible candidate for jQuery core.

$.generateId = function() {
return arguments.callee.prefix + arguments.callee.count++;
};
$.generateId.prefix = 'jq$';
$.generateId.count = 0;

$.fn.generateId = function() {
return this.each(function() {
this.id = $.generateId();
});
};

Regards

They're in the svn? Great. I'll take them out of my plugin in that case.

Re: [jQuery] Generating a unique id

I would suggest changing this line: this.id = $.generateId();...to: this.id = this.id || $.generateId();... in order to avoid reassigning an ID to elements which have already received one.
