the problem is that with the oob wp hidden – once a newbie hits this page (when compared to other pages) – they have to click on browse to make the list tools "appear". I think that is the concern/question. I tried to add something in script to enable the list tools w/out clicking browse – but it didn't work either – just wondering if anyone has discovered a different method. Here is what I tried in a CEWP
method 1:
<script>
//Set focus on our list web part make sure the WPQ# is correct
var webPart = document.getElementById('WebPartWPQ1');
WpClick({target: webPart});
//Prevent it from losing focus
SP.Ribbon.WebPartComponent.$3_1.deselectWebPartAndZone = function() { };
</script>
method 2:
<script>
//make sure the WPQ# is correct
setTimeout(function() {
var elem = document.getElementById("MSOZoneCell_WebPartWPQ2");
if(elem != null) {
var dummyevent = new Array();
dummyevent["target"] = elem;
dummyevent["srcElement"] = elem;
WpClick(dummyevent);
}
}, 2000);
</script>
