createNode methods are used to create new nodes.
Note: Any unsaved property changes will be lost when this method is called. To preserve property changes call save() first.

- type
- The node type. QName type (fully qualified or short form such as 'cm:content').
Returns
Newly created node, or null if failed to create.
Example
var node = myforum.createNode("My Discussion",
"fm:forum");
createNode(name, type, assocType)
This method creates a new node of the specified type as a child of the
current node with the given child association type.
Parameters
- name

- type
- The node type. QName type (fully qualified or short form such as 'cm:content').
- assocType
