  The default is for them to take 100% width - what CSS are you using to restrict the width (so I can try the same and see what is going on). A link to a test case showing the issue would be really useful.

  I think the problem was that i had a non-breaking space in the footer columns and that created a "Title" attribute which was putting an empty block on the wrong side of the input. when i remove the non-breaking space inside the th tags. my editor changes the color from blue to red so i thought i had to have something there:
  the old way:

          <tfoot>
            <tr class="subHeading">
              <th class="narrow">&nbsp;</th>
              <th class="narrow">&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th><!--- 5 --->
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th><!--- 10 --->
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th><!--- 15 --->
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th><!--- 20 --->
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th><!--- 25 --->
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
              <th>&nbsp;</th><!--- 30 --->
              <th>&nbsp;</th>
           </tr>
          </tfoot>
  

  the new way:

          <tfoot>
            <tr class="subHeading">
              <th class="narrow"></th>
              <th class="narrow"></th>
              <th></th>
              <th></th>
              <th></th>
              <th></th><!--- 5 --->
              <th></th>
              <th></th>
              <th></th>
              <th></th>
              <th></th><!--- 10 --->
              <th></th>
              <th></th>
              <th></th>
              <th></th>
              <th></th><!--- 15 --->
              <th></th>
              <th></th>
              <th></th>
              <th></th>
              <th></th><!--- 20 --->
              <th></th>
              <th></th>
              <th></th>
              <th></th>
              <th></th><!--- 25 --->
              <th></th>
              <th></th>
              <th></th>
              <th></th>
              <th></th><!--- 30 --->
              <th></th>
            </tr>
          </tfoot>

  Ah! Yes, DataTables would keep the nbsp as the title. Good to hear you got it sorted out.
