Just generate a random number with Javascript, and throw in a few
characters for good measure. Like maybe the tagName followed by a four
or five (you could go higher if you'er paranoid) digit random number.
And/or you could use a time stamp of some sort.
If you want to go the extra mile, you could try to select with the new
ID just to make sure it doesn't already exist.
But I think a simple random ID of several digits would be fine, and
you can write the algorythm right in the .attr('id', ...) method.
