If ``` text-align ``` is set on a parent element of `	` (such as `

`) , then `	` does not inherit this property in IE8/IE9.

* [An elegant description of the problem](http://haslayout.net/css/Non-Inherited-TH-Text-Align-Bug)
* [HTML WG discussion](https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9542)
* [My simple text-align demo](http://mattbrundage.com/test/table-test.html): Compare this page in Gecko or Webkit and IE8/IE9.

I would recommend something like: ``` th {text-align:inherit\0/;} ```
The attribute hack is for IE8/IE9 only. Borrowed from http://paulirish.com/2009/browser-specific-css-hacks/
