I'm not sure if I understand you correctly, but this code should select the Ribbon.Read

var ribbon = SP.Ribbon.PageManager.get_instance().get_ribbon();
SelectRibbonTab("Ribbon.Read", true);

yeah, i tried that but i dont get the instance of ribbon it is undefined, also if i use the function: ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded with parameter sp.ribbon.js – Shkipper Oct 29 '12 at 11:47
is get_instance or get_ribbon undefined? – Aljoscha Husp Oct 29 '12 at 11:51
it says SP.Ribbon.PageManager is null or not an object – Shkipper Oct 29 '12 at 12:08
Even SP.Ribbon is undefined :( – Shkipper Oct 29 '12 at 12:27
Looks like you don't use the correct namespace then (SP.Ribbon) ;-) – Aljoscha Husp Oct 29 '12 at 12:43
Which should i use then? i tried with CUI.Page.PageManager.get_instance() and i get there an instance, but i dont get the ribbon, when i do get_instace().get_ribbon() i get null – Shkipper Oct 29 '12 at 13:00
Don't use CUI.Page, try to use SP.Ribbon instead. You also have to reference the correct files, try it as described in this link – Aljoscha Husp Oct 29 '12 at 13:15
yeah, ill try but i think the reference is wrong, but although i use the default master page – Shkipper Oct 29 '12 at 13:17
Do you have a reference to sp.ribbon.js which should be in the _layouts folder? – Aljoscha Husp Oct 29 '12 at 13:27
i suppose so, but even in the site which you gave me the guys is not adding reference to sp.ribbon ... – Shkipper Oct 29 '12 at 13:40
ok i added the reference to sp.ribbon.js and i got the get_instance() BUT the get_ribbon returns still NULL – Shkipper Oct 29 '12 at 13:51
does the get_ribbon function exist in the file you referenced? Maybe you should create a new question (with code) so we don't get too long comment section, because this seems to be a different question than before. – Aljoscha Husp Oct 29 '12 at 14:08
at the end i foxed it – Shkipper Oct 31 '12 at 15:08
Good to hear that :-) May I ask how you solved the problem? – Aljoscha Husp Nov 01 '12 at 09:48
