Generate random 6-digit alpha-numeric code.

I need a javascript that will be envoked via an onclick

I need a random 6-Digit alpha-numeric (uppercase) id created when the user clicks the link provided. The id would then populate a form field.

So basically the user click the link and the form field gets populated with the 6-digit id.

Thanks,
Curtis

add upper case characters if you want them as well
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
function getID(idLength)
{
      var chars="0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z";
      chars=chars.split(",");
      var min=0;
      var max=chars.length-1;
      var id="";
      for(var i=0; i<idLength;i++)
      {
            id+=chars[ Math.floor(Math.random()*(max - min + 1) + min) ];
      }
return id;
}
alert(getID(6));
//--></script>

Both worked equally as well but MrRobot was first. Thanks for your help and quick turnaround.
