When user click on an item display view (DispForm.aspx) the "View" ribbon is always expanded by default. It is annoying sometimes. How can I to make it collapse (not hide) by default? When user need the ribbon buttons he can click the "View" link at top to expand it.

Hi,

We can add the following JavaScript code into a Content Editor Web Part in the DispForm.aspx page to achieve your requirement.

<script  type="text/javascript"> 
SP.SOD.executeOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(function() { 
	try {	    
		 _ribbonStartInit("Ribbon.Read" , true , null );         
	}catch(e){
		//alert("error message");
	}
},"sp.ribbon.js");   
</script>

Or we can add InitialTabId=Ribbon.Read in the QueryString. Like this:

http://sp/Lists/CustomList/DispForm.aspx?ID=1&InitialTabId=Ribbon.Read
