function generateUUID(){
var d = new Date().getTime();
var uuid = 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[xy]/g, function(c) {
var r = (d + Math.random()*16)%16 | 0;
d = Math.floor(d/16);
return (c=='x' ? r : (r&0x7|0x8)).toString(16);
});
return uuid;
};
The above var d = new Date().getTime() can be improved by some modern Javascript features, but I'm not sure how supported they are. Here are some additional links with good information about Javascript GUIDs and problems with cryptography, randomness, and collisions.
