So I wonder if I'm misunderstanding the ^? These TR's are dynamically named W9Data1, W9Data2, W9Data3... My understanding is that the caret would select ID's that contain "W9Data".

This tr[id^="W9Data"] selects all TRs that have an ID that starts with "W9Data". If there's anything before that, it will not work.
In other words: <tr id="W9Data1"> would be selected, <tr id="something W9Data1"> would not.
Adding the TD after that, should select all TDs that are children of all TR's that have an ID that starts with "W9Data"
Just like doing tr#theID td{} would select all td that are children of Tr's that have an id of "theID".
The code works with this example HTML:
Note that the 3rd row, would not have a border as it would match the CSS selector.

<style type="text/css">
td
{
border: 1px solid blue;
}
tr[id^="W9Data"] td
{
border: 1px solid red;
}
</style>
<body>
<table>
<tr id="W9Data1"><td>cell1</td><td>cell2</td><td>cell3</td></tr>
<tr id="W9Data1"><td>cell1</td><td>cell2</td><td>cell3</td></tr>
<tr id="else_W9Data1"><td>cell1</td><td>cell2</td><td>cell3</td></tr>
<tr id="W9Data1"><td>cell1</td><td>cell2</td><td>cell3</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>Note that the 3rd row, would not have a border as it would match the CSS selector.
