Selected works

Observable Controls

Thanks much for this utility! Silly question, since we are calling:

`const id = newId();` in `yamultiselect`

should it then be something like:

```
newIdGenerator = {
  let nextId = 0;

  return function newId() {
    return `${msns}-${++nextId}`;
  };
}
const newId = newIdGenerator();
```

Currently, once the code in the cell is executed, the variable`newId` will have a function. Each call to the function returns `msns` appended with an integer that will be incremented.

The function is used to create different IDs for each instance of `yamultiselect` in an HTML page.

In the code you proposed, `newIdGenerator()` returns a string; which is stored in `newId`. So, `newId` when we use `newId` all instances of `yamultiselect` will have the same ID.
