Does any one know why this javascript does not work in Alfresco 2.1

That looks like a bug - nodes returned from Search are not correctly coerced into Category node object types. I have raised an issue for this:
http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/AR-1811

Thanks,

Damn.. i'm now running into this same problem. Any ideas on the timeline for solving this? Or maybe a workaround?

[kbonnet]

There is a clean workaround, for as far as i can judge:

 createNode("Category Name","cm:category","","cm:subcategories");‍

Dear All,

Event if do
cNode[0].subCategories();

here my cNode[0] is of type "cm:category"

i am getting the same error that function subCategories() not found.

Any idea what could be the other workaround for the same

Thanks & Regards
