How to change table CSS using Classes instead of Ids

As the title suggests, I want to change the CSS style of a table within Splunk dashboard using classes instead of id. The reason is I have multiple tables with different values BUT applying a similar style. If I want to make changes or create a new table with similar style, I have to keep iterating the id (e.g. tableid_10) which is impractical. I have inspected element and cannot change the Splunk default class "panel-element-row" as this will affect other tables on my dashboard. 

e.g. for panel below the css works fine if I use the id as a selector.

<panel>
<table id="test">
<search>
<query>index="test"
| eval hide="Hide"
| rename hide as " "</query>
<earliest>0</earliest>
<latest></latest>
</search>
<option name="drilldown">none</option>
</table>
</panel>

With the following css

#test th{
            color:#808080 !important;

            border: 1px solid white !important;
}

However, if I switch it to using class selector,

<panel>
<table class="test">
<search>
<query>index="test"
| eval hide="Hide"
| rename hide as " "</query>
<earliest>0</earliest>
<latest></latest>
</search>
<option name="drilldown">none</option>
</table>
</panel>

With the following css

.test th{
            color:#808080 !important;
            border: 1px solid white !important;
}

It no longer works.

Go back to using ids but adopt a naming convention e.g. all those you want to affect begin with the same word

<dashboard version="1.1" theme="light">
<label>Tables</label>
<row>
<panel>
<table id="test_1">
<search>
<query>| makeresults
| fields - _time
| eval random=random()
| eval hide="Hide"
| rename hide as " "</query>
<earliest>0</earliest>
<latest></latest>
</search>
<option name="drilldown">none</option>
</table>
</panel>
<panel>
<table id="test_2">
<search>
<query>| makeresults
| fields - _time
| eval random=random()
| eval hide="Hide"
| rename hide as " "</query>
<earliest>0</earliest>
<latest></latest>
</search>
<option name="drilldown">none</option>
</table>
</panel>
<panel>
<table id="nottest_A">
<search>
<query>| makeresults
| fields - _time
| eval random=random()
| eval hide="Hide"
| rename hide as " "</query>
<earliest>0</earliest>
<latest></latest>
</search>
<option name="drilldown">none</option>
</table>
</panel>
<panel depends="$alwaysHide$">
  <html>
    <style>
div[id^="test_"] th{
            color:red !important;
            border: 1px solid white !important;
}      
    </style>
  </html>
</panel>  
</row>
</dashboard>
