Actually, you can. IDs can be used once PER PAGE. So long as you use the ID only once on each page (which should be the case in this situation, unless I am badly misunderstanding you), you'll be fine. I personally prefer to use the ID in this situation rather than !important as was suggested earlier, but that's really a matter of choice. Mostly, I just wanted to make it clear that IDs do work for dynamic assignments, so long as you use them carefully. It is a fairly common misconception that they don't, and it is worth noting the correction for users searching the archives.
