Populating dropdown
Hi all,
I am populating a dropdown in my jsp which has more than 10,000 elements in
it. Since the record size is very huge the time taken for the JSP to load is
very high. I am using the folowing snippet to populate the dropdown. I am
using struts framework. Is there any other way that I can populate the
dropdown to make it faster ? Please help.
<html:select property ='id' name="Form"
onchange='<%="fnDoCheck("+rowIndex.intValue()+")"%>' style="width:300px">
<bean:define id ="List" property='id' name= "Object"/>
<html:options collection="List" labelProperty="value" property="name"/>
</html:select>

I'd recommend re-thinking your design. Even if you could make the population
of your drop-down faster, you're still going to have some serious useability
issues with a dropdown of that size.

Hi,
Maybe you can divide your options in categories and use several
dropdowns with an ajax loading.
>>From the user point of view, large data in dropdowns are not very
usefull.

Better option would be: using *autocompleter* instead of select.

That's your first problem.

Not really... As suggested, using some form of autocompleter might be a good
idea, depending on how the back end is implemented.
A dropdown with that many elements is going to cause problems on several
fronts; it might make the JSP to big (some (all?) app servers won't handle a
JSP larger than 64K), it may cause an issue in some browsers due to sheer
size, and it'll almost always render fairly slowly.

Re: takes more time for populating values.
Posted by Randy Burgess <RB...@nuvox.com>.
Don't put 10,000 items in a drop down list. There is no way that a human is
going to read 10,000 items in a list and there is a good chance you will
crash their browser. I suggest making the user select some options, through
more drop down lists or input methods, to narrow down the final list before
displaying it.
