However, we can write the text-align property on table-cell since it is inherited by its children. This might be useful if the cell contains multiple blocks and you don't want to specify text-align on them individually. > > On Fri, Mar 21, 2014 at 1:26 AM, Glenn Adams <gl...@skynav.com> wrote: > > > > > > > > On Wed, Mar 19, 2014 at 10:22 PM, Jason Harrop <jhar...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> > >> Bummer.
