Dashboards & Visualizations

why doesn't splunk respect the HTML/XML width commands?

Why does SPLUNK .css default to over-riding manual width statements? I've seen several potential solutions, but this seems contradictive to the whole W3C idea of standard coding. I should not have to boot-strap a bullshit javascript into all my dashboards just to get desired width within a row. BELOW is example - and the two cells are ALWAYS displayed as a 50/50 of the row. SPLUNK should respect standard HTML/XML coding standards and any manual (converted) dashboard should not be overwritten by some default .css -- that just makes zero sense.

    <div id="panel7" class="dashboard-cell" style="width: 10%;">
        <div class="dashboard-panel clearfix">
            <h2 class="panel-title">Latest UV Index</h2>

            <div class="panel-element-row">
                <div id="element7" class="dashboard-element single" style="width: 10%">
                    <div class="panel-body"></div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div id="panel9" class="dashboard-cell" style="width: 90%;">
        <div class="dashboard-panel clearfix">
            <h2 class="panel-title">Solar Radiation (8 hrs)</h2>

            <div class="panel-element-row">
                <div id="element9" class="dashboard-element chart" style="width: 90%">
                    <div class="panel-body"></div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

have you seen this method? It's not exactly what you're referring to but it's closer and better/easier than javascript
