That means only a td in a tr with the id set to mycell will make it
happen that way.
Sometimes it helps to prevent an occurance of mycell in other places
by nesting CSS code like that.
I have a page that uses a table to produce the effect of an open book
that can expand down and still show all the seams and edges. I kept
seeing the little graphic pieces that make up the book appear to be
loaded but not shown on pages without the table.
When I nested the HTML tags as tr td#backul for background upper left
it stopped false loading the graphics.
