unique_id.js

Returns a unique alphanumeric ID given that it uses Date.now() and a random string.

Usage

Create and use the id any time.

var yourNewId = Date.now()+Math.random().toString(16).substr(2);
var yourOtherNewId = Date.now()+Math.random().toString(16).substr(2);

yourNewId and yourOtherNewId will look something like this, but of course, both completely unique: "146849867772717a4cb2f"
