In your case you seem to be generating the header from a lookup. In that case you could probably define the col-xx-x classes there ?

I am not sure I understand the 12 columns vs. 25 reference. What exactly do you mean?
The span is used with ng-if directive in order to use either displayName or name (if displayName is not defined). This was an answer to my question here by Paul Mrozowski a while ago. How do you propose to add the width element? As I said, the above code is part of the generic template from directive.
So, the grid is defined this way:
<table id="searchTable" ng-show="results" class="table table-bordered table-hover table-list">
<thead search-table-header table="table" search="search()">
</thead>E.g. nothing explicitly set in the thead section and it's expanded in run-time using searchTableHeader directive:
(function () {
'use strict';
var app = angular.module('sysMgrApp');
app.directive('searchTableHeader', [function () {
return {
restrict: 'A',
replace: false,
scope: {
table: '=',
search: '&',
},
controller: ['$scope', function ($scope) {
$scope.sort = function (column) {
if ($scope.table.sort === column.name) {
$scope.table.dir = $scope.table.dir === 'asc' ? 'desc' : 'asc';
} else {
$scope.table.sort = column.name;
$scope.table.dir = 'asc';
}
$scope.search();
};
}],
templateUrl: '/app/templates/searchTableHeader'
};
}]);
})();and the searchTableHeader template is what I posted. How can I incorporate width into it?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
