Okay, I've already found a (workaround) solution to my problem (however I'd still like an answer on the original question). I was already using an AJAX call to do something to the document, and I forgot that I could just return the single value that I'd need.


var url = '/alfresco/command/script/execute/workspace/SpacesStore/SCRIPT_ID/workspace/SpacesStore/' + documentID;
YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest('GET', url,{ 
   success: function(o) {
            //the text I need to change is inside a span with id = documentID…
            document.getElementById(documentID).innerHTML= o.responseText;
   }
});

Is there perhaps a way to return the entire document? It wouldn't be as clean as that "magical_function" I'm looking for, but at the moment it does the job for me…

Hi,
you can find a node by nodeRef using the Search API as reported here http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/4.0_JavaScript_API#Search_API
Pay particular attention to the findNode method which comes with a lot of different signatures.
You can find the variant that suits for you.
