Hi, jsantaelena

//Return Hash
function collectPageItem() {
	var my_collection = new Array();
	var my_doc = app.activeDocument;
	for (var i = 0; i < my_doc.allPageItems.length; i++) {
		var tmp_key = my_doc.allPageItems[i].associatedXMLElement;
		if (tmp_key != null) {my_collection["id" + tmp_key.id] =
my_doc.allPageItems[i];}
	}
	return my_collection;
}

//Return pageitem object from XMLElement
function getPageItem(my_element, my_collection) {
	var tmp_key = "id" + my_element.id;
	return my_collection[tmp_key];
}

var my_doc = app.activeDocument;
var my_root = my_doc.xmlElements.item("records");//root element
var my_element = my_root.xmlElements[1];//targetelement

var my_collection = collectPageItem();
var my_obj = getPageItem(my_element, my_collection);
my_obj.select();//select test
