JavaScript: how to generate UUID for Internet Explorer 9?

Is there a way, completely windows platform dependent, of creating a GUID in javascript for IE9. It does not have to support other browsers or OSs.

Thanks!

Solution

Here's a small method to create a UUID Test one of the resulting UUIDs here

[edit 2022] See also

var result = document.querySelector("#result");
result.textContent = '10 UUIDs\n---------------------------------------------\n';

for (var i = 0; i < 11; i += 1) {
  result.textContent += createUUID() + '\n';
}

function createUUID() { // RFC 4122-ish
  return Array.from(Array(32))
   .map((e, i) => {
     let someRandomValue = i === 12 ? 4 : (+new Date() + Math.random() * 16) % 16 | 0;
     return `${~[8, 12, 16, 20].indexOf(i) ? "-" : ""}${
       (i === 16 ? someRandomValue & 0x3 | 0x8 : someRandomValue).toString(16)}`;
   }).join("");
}
