What would be another
way of clearly identifying an object without the id?

you can specify almost any attribute to  identify a object.
like this:
div identify='!...@#$%^+_)(*'!...@#$%^+_)(*/div

and use
$([identif...@#$%^+_)(*])
to fetch the element!

 I was peaking around on the W3C site to see if I could find a clear
 definition of which characters are allowed within an ID.


http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#h-6.2

ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be followed
by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens (-), underscores (_),
colons (:), and periods (.).




 The problem is that I have a series of divs that have id=aq-1234 cd-456
 etc. I have no real control over the - in the name. What would be another
 way of clearly identifying an object without the id?

 td id=aq-1234 is what I have now. I've not used the rel=xxx that I
 see
 some people use. Would that be acceptable? Clearly $(#aq-1234) is not.

 Any suggestions?

Clearly $(#aq-1234) is not

WHY?
