Think that your css are not loaded, I mean the datatables css... Or you
didn't specified that you want to use the jQuery UI theme.
But what you want exactly? Truncate switch from web2py allow to trunc long
text field at particular length, personnaly I don't truncate... For example
you have to manipulate the html select for the table if you want to not
allow text to spill over more then one line...
I do that like that :
table = crud.select(db[request.args(0)],
query=query, _class='sortable',
_id='something')
for th in table.elements('th'):
th.attributes['_style']='white-space:nowrap;'
"white-space:nowrap" is prevent the return of the line if text lenght is
over a certain length.
And for column width switch for DataTables here a thread :

And basic styling : http://www.datatables.net/styling/ids_classes
