Just wanted to say thanks for sharing this! I came across this roadblock a while back. It's nice to know you can get things set up correctly despite things being structured differently.
Would you be willing to comment out your code a tad more describing what each block does if possible? It would be helpful to those of us that do not understand Js and jQuery as much as the next guy and maybe give a better understanding of why WF tables need to be restructured if we want to use Bootstrap with them.
Really appreciate your post!

Hope the below comments help added to the fex, tried to keep it simple.
I wanted to convert my WebFOCUS tables to Bootstrap tables, tried to add CLASSes to the TABLE but this started to get messy and complicated.
When you create a HOLD file format HTMTABLE and inspect the HTML in your browser(right click table and inspect element) you will notice that the column titles are not in the THEAD tag as well as the TR child nodes are not TH tags. What we need to do is extract the column titles from the TABLEs TBODY and insert these into the THEAD(else you will not get a nice bold heading/no bordered heading if you are using the table-bordered bootstrap class). After we extracted the values we then need to delete the original column titles. The javascript below will scan through the DOM(all HTML generated in the browser) after the page loads converting ALL tables to the Bootstrap table layout by means of reconstructing the HTML TABLE and adding the Bootstrap classes(table,table-bordered,table-hover,table-striped). Also we need to see if the column titles are right aligned for numeric column values.
This is the correct HTML TABLE layout for a Bootstrap Table:
<table class="table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
<th>Email</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>John</td>
<td>Doe</td>
<td>john@example.com</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

-* Get the Columns titles fro the TABLE and insert into array headerArray also check the alignment of the column titles. If the column title has an attribute of align we know that the column it numeric.

headerArray[i] = myTable.rows.item(0).cells.item(i).innerText;

th = document.createElement('th');
th.innerHTML = headerArray[i];

I guess my question would be why? Why use bootstrap and jquery, that executes 1000's of lines of code, to build out a table that can easily be done in css alone with a hold file like your already doing?

Forgive me for asking, but what do you mean by "Bootstrap style"?
This looks very similar to what WebFOCUS display with the following code. Consider the following code, using the Power of WebFOCUS, and it's a lot more maintainable by WebFOCUS developers without all the over-complications imposed by the non-WebFOCUS code:
SET PAGE = NOLEAD
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM DEALER_COST RETAIL_COST
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
ON TABLE SET BYDISPLAY ON
ON TABLE HOLD AS REPORT1 FORMAT HTMTABLE
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *

ENDSTYLE
END

Don't get me wrong, there a time and place for everything and CSS, HTML coding, etc. is wonderful. But, why over complicate thing when "We Can Do that in WebFOCUS"?

Where is the like button??
Too many people these days are relying on 3rd party code to make their life easier or because, "it's cool" and are losing the concept of efficiency. There is a reason web servers have to have a TB of memory, running on SSD, with GB network cards. It's because we bloat up the networks with unnecessary traffic.
Bootstrap, to new developers, is a way to make things Mobile Responsive, but anyone can do it without Bootstrap and with a lot less code.
-* Add the Bootstrap CLASSes to the TABLE
myTable.className = 'table table-bordered table-hover table-striped';
@Clayton - Thank you for the share.
When I execute your code, I don't see clasess like 'table-hover' and 'table-striped' kicking in.
Sounds like what I see is like what Doug is seeing, the two reports with arial font with light borders.
I am seeing the following JavaScript error:
SCRIPT5007: Unable to get value of the property 'innerText': object is null or undefined
ExBootstrapReports.fex?IBIRS_action=run&IBIMR_random=51326, line 24 character 1
@CoolGuy your welcome, glad it works nicely and appreciate the feedback. Code created for Surenther posted 03-07-2014.
@David: Please try and run the code in Chrome and see if you still get an error in your console?
If you still get an error maybe try replace the innerText with innerHTML, IE is not my browser of choice, tested on IE11, Edge, Firefox and Chrome before I posted.
I think everyone that commented above is not seeing what's suppose to generate based on the simple css that Doug posted. This can be fixed with JQuery for cross browser compatibility...

As Gavin suggests (ok, states) you can achieve all of this without a lot of effort using CSS.
The idea of the bootstrap "collection" is that you do not need to do much at all with your output providing you assign the correct CSS class to your div statements.
If you want a fully functioning, no changes required (I hope I haven't spoken too soon!) bootstrap example, then run the code below. Note that it was written in an Application folder (i.e. not a content folder), and it works in both Chrome and IE11. It even functions in the new edge browser within Windows 10.
I have added the additional feature of "flip" that someone asked about a couple of months ago.
Play and enjoy(?)

I admit, that's cool to watch, but all that just so you can make something flip? How well does that flip work on mobile, anyone test that? I think I'd rather just use two lines of JavaScript to Hide one DIV and Show another in it's place, on click. Maybe it's me, but as an end user, I would only be impressed with it for the first few weeks. After that, I'm looking for results and not be forced to wait on the cool factor to get my results.

Haha.. Well, yea! I remember a day when everyone was creating animated GIFs all over the pages, because that was the cool thing to do. Then people realized, the end user can't focus on what they needed to, because animation kept pulling their focus away and it was sucking up all the bandwidth. Good ole T1 days. If we look at google, why do you think they don't have all kinds of animation on their site. They have enough money and bandwidth. I just went to google to see if they used any jquery or bootstrap and noticed there are 183k bytes on their home page, just to show an logo image, a searchbox with two buttons, and a couple of links. People make the simplest things way to complex. The more you add, the more your going to work to maintain it.
In 2000 a company asked me to write a website, web application, and shopping cart using ASP Classic and a app demo in Flash. They refuse to let anyone touch it, because it's not broken and still have it up and running today. Something to be said about good code and not overwhelm it with fluff that will not work next year.
@Tony FYI, I did save off your code in my repository, just in case. It is cool for a little bit.

One of the selling features of App Studio Canvas is "Animations", as if that is the end-all of HTML pages. I agree with Gavin that the user might be impressed, but the coolness factor rapidly dies off.

This sample uses jQuery to perform the following two actions (as Clayton suggested above, I replaced his JavaScript with jQuery): * Wrap a THEAD tag around the first row. * Convert the tr tag to a th tag for the first row.
For sure we all have been, and will continue to, build fantastic web applications with WebFOCUS, and without Bootstrap.
I am thinking that if we every get a requirement, to integrate WebFOCUS and Bootstrap for a particular web application, we should be in pretty good shape.
For those of you who haven't had a chance to look at Bootstrap yet, you should know that while this example and the OP's example deals with table formatting, this type of formatting only one small part of the Bootstrap HTML/JavaScript/CSS framework.This message has been edited.

Now the next question would be can you make the 2nd, 3rd, nth columns stack under their sort BY column if the window gets phone resolution small? Maybe even make those columns only show if you click on the sort field they belong to?
That's what I've been trying to get to work for a while. Can't seem to figure it out. It'd be nice if it was possible w/o frameworks. Maybe IBI will implement it eventually.

Move the contents of that style-tag into a common CSS file, so that you don't need to update a gazillion fex files to update your styling to a new standard. table.css
I left out the </head> on purpose, as adding it makes it impossible to add other tags to the head section, such as more CSS includes, javascript, meta tags (for caching control, for example), etc.
Additional note: using -EXIT at the end of a fex is apparently considered bad form, as it aborts execution of the procedure immediately (as opposed to the fex just ending, it's not the same!). If you would have wanted to use such a report in RCaster for example, RCaster will not log any errors that might happen in the fex because -EXIT aborts it before the logging happens, or something like that. IBI explained it to me, but it's so weird...

It's possible, but wouldn't look very pretty on mobile. I would suggest not putting as many columns in it. You cannot do it with an !IBI.FIL.HLD1;. You would have to create a loop and write the HTML yourself. Each of the columns would have their own DIV and each of them would have to use a FLOAT: LEFT, "Which by the way is what makes it Mobile Responsive.", except for the first column of each row.
If I have some time, I'll attempt to create a demo, though it's a lot more code.

Thanks for the code restructuring examples. Those are some good points.
GavinL,
Thanks for your insights. I would love a demo, but don't feel obligated or rushed. Whenever you get to it. It would be great to have it though because I'm (and probably a bunch of others on here are) not too good with piecing together how to go about doing this kind of thing.
Really appreciate your help over the last little while with this and the other topic thread(s) you've chimed in on.

Tony, I think someone changed bootstrap.js on the server your point at. I pulled it up today to show someone and it failed. When looking at the console, it says bootstrap requires a higher version of jquery that what is on our server, which it didn't do before. I then changed it to use
