Hi,
I want to create a document set in SharePoint 2010 document library where i have already included document set content type.
Is there any way to create a document set using ECMA Script?? If yes, then please provide the sample code for this...

Hi Prashant,
Although this post is aimed at SP 2013 and the App model, it should give you the object model references you need to complete your goal:

In particular the following function should be of use:
function CreateDocumentSet() {
var ctx = new SP.ClientContext("http://yourSharePointSite");
var parentFolder;
var newDocSetName = $('#txtGetDocumentSetName').val();
var docSetContentTypeID = "0x0120D520";
var web = ctx.get_web();
var list = web.get_lists().getByTitle('DocSetLibrary');
ctx.load(list);
parentFolder = list.get_rootFolder();
ctx.load(parentFolder);
var docsetContentType = web.get_contentTypes().getById(docSetContentTypeID);
ctx.load(docsetContentType);
ctx.executeQueryAsync(function () {
var isCreated = SP.DocumentSet.DocumentSet.create(ctx, parentFolder, newDocSetName, docsetContentType.get_id());
ctx.executeQueryAsync(SuccessHandler('Document Set creation successful'), FailureHandler("Document Set creation failed"));
}, FailureHandler("Folder loading failed"));
ctx.add_requestSucceeded(function () {
$('#txtGetDocumentSetName').val('');
alert('Request Succeeded');
ctx.add_requestFailed(function (sender, args) {
alert('Request failed: ' + args.get_message());
// Failure Message Handler
function FailureHandler(message) {
return function (sender, args) {
alert(message + ": " + args.get_message());
// Success Message Handler
function SuccessHandler(message) {
return function () {
alert(message);
