Answered How can I detect if a user is "browsing" a page or seeing a Ribbon tool?

    When a person selects "browse" you see the breadcrumb, the search bar, etc. Is there a way to detect if a user is browsing a page or in a ribbon? I want to display some content on the homepage of a site when a person is browsing and hide the content when a ribbon becomes active.

    I've looked hard for a javascript variable or any other way to know if a ribbon is visible or not but I'm coming up empty handed. Surely something must change when the person moves to or from browse view but I just can't figure it out.

    Hi Jay,

    When a user clicks on a tab for the ribbon it calls the sp.ribbon.js file and that file indicates what css variables to change and what displays. Ultimately if you're looking to display something at a certain stage of the ribbon, you can use IE developer toolbar provided with IE 8 & 9 and find what changes as you switch between tabs and insert what you're looking for into those classes if it's backgrounds.
