jQuery generate unique IDs

rated 0 times [ 163] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 64657 / 10 Years ago, sun, october 5, 2014, 12:00:00

Here's what I have:

<a href=<?=$arItem[LINK]?>><?=$arItem[TEXT]?></a>

It's a PHP array, which contains some links. I need to add an extra hash parameter #nav-link to the end of each link.

Here's how I tried do it:

<a id=likeLink href=><?=$arItem[TEXT]?></a>

<script>

    $(document).ready(function () {

        $(#likeLink).attr(href, <?=$arItem[LINK]?> + #nav-link);

    });

</script>

But this code doesn't work because jQuery will not know which links I am linking to. So I guess that I need to generate the unique ids, but don't know how to do it.

For generating random ids you could use this one.

<script type=text/javascript>

function Generator() {};



Generator.prototype.rand =  Math.floor(Math.random() * 26) + Date.now();



Generator.prototype.getId = function() {

   return this.rand++;

};

var idGen =new Generator();

</script>

</html>

<body>

<!-- Place this in the body of the page content -->



   <button onclick=console.log(idGen.getId())>click</button>



</body>
