jquery.uniqueId 1.0.0

Simple jQuery plugin for generating unique identifiers.

Usage

First of all You must include plugin file in Your html document, after that You should have access to $.uniqueId() function.

This function has few configuration options:

• attribute - Default: 'id' - name of attribute to "generate".
• prefix - Default: 'uid_' - prefix for generated value.
• suffix - Default: '' - suffix for generated value.
• counter_start - Default: 1 - start number to search.

Full configured function will look like this:

  $.uniqueId({
        attribute: 'id',
        prefix:'uid_',
        suffix:'',
        counter_start: 1
  });

and for empty document it returns: 'uid_1'

Please see file example.html to better understand mechanism of this plugin but it's really simple. Quick example let's assume that you want to find first available attribute "id" for mask: article_{article number}_show. So You should use plugin like this:

var id=$.uniqueId({prefix:'article_',suffix:'_show'});
