The thead and tr tags were not being inserted properly into the dom

I was using bootstrap with datatables.  The thead tr missing were causing me headaches with css.  I played with the height some to get it to work with my page. My header columns were a few lines high.  

I also set the minWidth to 0.  The scenario I ran into was I had a table that flowed outside the screen. Datatables elegantly put a minWidth on my table to do this.  But caused a problem when I clicked to drag a column, the dragable column would be the whole table width since it cloned the tables minwidth.
