Perhaps try implementing some AJAX on the page. Therefore, once the page has loaded, the select tag is populated with different options, without actually lagging the page.
""Jay Blanchard"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [snip] I have a form for user interaction and part of it is a select box with a large number of options from a database ~12K options. Currently I have a function which queries the DB to get fresh data and loads the HTML (<option value=X>Y</option>) into a string, so the DB is only hit once, but the page still takes a while to load. Anyone else have any experience with something like this, or any other helpful suggestions for making the page load time a little less cumbersome? [/snip] If you are loading 12000 entries into a select box then that is way too much. The gods of usability frown on you. Is there no way to make the data selection slimmer? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
