Registers all the client side script for the RelationalDropDownList.
This method registers the client script to hold the control's values in an array, to manage client side updating, and to initialize the control's values.
Control Initialization Script
The initialization script is only registered if the control's parent is not an IRelationalListControl or the control's parent does not have a parent itself. If one of these conditions exist, the control's parent control is the top level control and the initialization script is registered for the parent control.
The initialization script causes an onChange event during page load on the top level control. The event updates the top level control and cascades an update to all child controls. The child controls then load their values based on the selection in their parent.
Client Update Management Script
The client update management script controls the client side updating of the control and is emitted on each page by default. The developer may add a configuration section to the Web.config file with the location of an external script file. If the configuration section is present, the control will only emit a link to the external script file.
The following example demonstrates how to set the client update management script path via the Web.config file.
