    This document provides code to generate strings that resemble Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs) in JavaScript. The code uses random numbers to generate string segments and combines them with dashes. However, these strings are not guaranteed to be truly unique. The document warns that this code should not be used if unique identifiers are critically important and provides a link to find a standard-compliant GUID generator.
