public class ERXJSPopUpRelationPicker
extends ERXStatelessComponent

Very, very cool js component. Implements master-detail with js in two popups, ie the first popup could be say states and depending on which state is picked the second popup might reflect all of the cities of that state.

This WOComponent displays two pop-up buttons. One pop-up displays a list of what can be thought of as parent entities. The second pop-up displays a list of what can be thought of as children entities. When a user selects an entity in the parent list, the child list is instantly modified to reflect the children entities available to the user through that parent. This is done through client-side Javascript. Also handles to-many selections both on the parent and the children.

For example:

parent1(child1,child2,child3)
parent2(child4,child5)
parent3(child2,child5)

When the user selects parent1, its appropriate children are displayed in the second popup. If the user selects child2 in the children pop-up this is the value that is returned to the user through the childrenSelection variable. This is either an NSArray if multiple is true or the single selected object. For the display of the parent popup, if we aren't passed in a parentSelection, then we default to parentPopUpStringForAll. If we aren't given that either, then we default to the first parent in the array. For the display of the child popup, if we aren't passed in a childrenSelection, then we default to childPopUpStringForAll. If we aren't given that either, then we default to the first child in the array.
