I am using bootstrap and have created a table in which I need columns grouped together. Is there any bootstrap options that I can use? I am willing to write my own CSS to do it, but I would rather not if there is a built in bootstrap way to do it.
For example, in the table below I would want the Current
columns with one color background and the New
columns to have another.

<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Current</td>
<td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">New</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Fisrt Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>John</td>
<td>Bauer</td>
<td>Jack</td>
<td>Bauer</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
UPDATE: I have achieved something of what I am looking for using colgroup
and, alas, custom CSS (though not very much) : http://jsfiddle.net/75v7W/4/

Note: For the background-color
s below, I pulled from the success, error, etc. from the default colors in the bootstrap.css
. If you have customized your bootstrap.css, these specific colors may not work for you.
CSS
colgroup col.success {
background-color: #dff0d8;
}
colgroup col.error {
background-color: #f2dede;
}
colgroup col.warning {
background-color: #fcf8e3;
}
colgroup col.info {
background-color: #d9edf7;
}
TABLE
<table class="table table-condensed">
<colgroup>
<col>
<col span="2" class="info">
<col span="2" class="success">
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Current</td>
<td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">New</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Fisrt Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>John</td>
<td>Bauer</td>
<td>Jack</td>
<td>Bauer</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
It is better, if it is possible use the bootstrap build-in css classes.
There is a built in way to hightlight a columns: https://jsfiddle.net/DanielKis/wp6bt229/
HTML:
<table class="table table-condensed">
<colgroup>
<col class="bg-success"></col>
<col span="2" class="bg-info"></col>
<col span="2" class="bg-danger"></col>
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td colspan="2" class="text-center bg-primary">Current</td>
<td colspan="2" class="text-center">New</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Fisrt Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>Johnny</td>
<td>English</td>
<td>Bud</td>
<td>Spencer</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
You can use
bg-primary
bg-success
bg-info
bg-warning
bg-danger
Css classes to colorize your columns, cells, etc.
