<span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Is it wrong to use id attribute in <td>? I found this
to be needed in a complicated table, but I’ve never seen this. Dreamweaver
shows this attribute in its intellisense, but I want to make sure if it’s
OK to use this way.

The id
attribute is a Core attribute and may be applied to any tag (I am not certain
about the <html>, <head> or some of the other tags that appear in
the <head> section so for the time being, forget about those). You may use
the id to apply style or as a hook for scripting. For example, if you are
using tables for layout, you could create <td id="navbar"> and then create
styles based on the id such as td#navbar a:link {color: red;}. Yes, DW
is correct.
