Can a container be started collapsed?

Is there anyway to start a container collapsed? I tried setting min=0 max=1 default=0 but when you click the + it creates another container within the container and it's going to be confusing for my users.

You can set a threshold in templating.cfg, saying that form type X starts off with containers with depth Y or more are collapsed at form load. If you only want specific containers to start off collapsed, use FormAPI with an onFormInit, and just collapse it that way.

Thanks - I ended up putting in a script to collapse just the items that didn't have any values.

Used the TeamSite FormAPI Reference guide v7.1 Doc rev 1, Dec, 2009
[PHP]<script>
 IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onFormInit", function () { var tabs = IWDatacapture.getRootItems()[0].getChildren(); for (var i = 0; i < tabs.length; i++) { var items = tabs.getChildren()[0].getChildren(); for (var j = 0; j < items.length; j++) { if (items<j>.getType().indexOf("container") >= 0) { if (items<j>.getChildren()[0].getValue() == "") { items<j>.setCollapsed(true); } } } } } ); 
</script>

The basic structure of my DCT is:

*** this is the container I want to collapse if first child is empty
