That’s a good point. I was only thinking of a unique ID for the View, but your approach allows for unique ID’s across the entire application. And I wouldn’t have to code any additional counters when I did need an ID for another purpose. Nice.

You can do this in a more broad sense like this.

var uID = 0;
function getUniqueID(){
return ‘g’ + uID++;
}

then call this wherever you want…

foo.id = getUniqueID();
bar.id = ‘prefix_’ + getUniqueID();
