How can I make a Unique ID per email?

Question

I need to create a unique ID for each time a lead has filled out a form on that specific inquiry.

since the customer does not use SF I need to find a way to create without Sales force.

I was trying to combine the Date or time with the Marketo Unique code token

but when I combine with date there is a - and I don`t want a - in between the codes. when I use time there is a : in-between the numbers....

Is there a way to generate the date without the - or spaces or the time without the :

This is very simple. No reason to generate anything on the server, just generate a timestamp in the browser when the form posts.

MktoForms2.whenReady(function(form){
  form.onSubmit(function(form){
    form.addHiddenFields({ lastFormPostUniqueId : new Date().getTime() });
  });
});

(and of course create lastFormPostUniqueId as a custom field in Marketo)

getTime() is epoch time in milliseconds. No non-malicious lead can post twice in the same millisecond (and since you can append the lead's Marketo Unique Code the final value of lastFormPostUniqueId will be unique to that user).
