Anyone know how I can assign an ID to a body tag on a page from a link on another page? Could I use javascript?

Meaning if someone follows a certain link, an ID is put on the body? Sure, just put a query string on the href of the link. You could put this directly under your opening body tag:

HTML Code:

<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
if(window.location.search == "?id=true")
     document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].id = "my-dynamic-id";
</script>

Then, the link would have to read: <a href="my-page.htm?id=true">some text</a>
