To have the tree collapsed by default in the table of contents, you can modify a JavaScript variable display_mode = "none" to display_mode = "block". This works in Internet Explorer. Follow these steps:

1. Specify the CODE= option on the ODS HTML statement to save the JavaScript file at a pathname of your choice. In the example blow, the file is saved to c:\javascript.js. The BODY file is required syntax but the body file itself is not important and can be deleted after the program runs.

      ods listing close;
      /* body file is required - use any name */
   
      ods html  body='body.html' code= 'c:\javascript.js';
   
      /* some proc is required - use any simple proc */
   
      proc print data=sashelp.class;
      run;
      ods html close;
   

2. Modify the JavaScript file (c:\javascript.js in our example) by opening it in a text editor. Find lines 17-18. Change

      // Initialize expander
      var display_mode = "none"
   

   to

      // Initialize expander
      var display_mode = "block"
   

   Save and close the file. This has to be done only once.
   
   
3. Now you can apply this modified JavaScript file to a table of contents by specifying CODE=(URL="filename") on the ODS HTML statement as follows. View output.

      ods listing close;
   
      /* Use the same filename and path for URL= as you did for CODE= */
      ods html body='body.html' contents='contents.html' frame='frame.html'
          code=(url='c:\javascript.js');
   
      /* this is just an example to get a nontrival table of contents */
      goptions dev=activex xpixels=500 ypixels=400;
      proc print data=sashelp.class;
      run;
      proc gplot data=sashelp.class;
         plot height*weight; run;
         plot height*age; run;
         plot weight*age; run;
      quit;
   
      ods html close;
