[Browser] how much data can a browser handle in a <SELECT> ?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear list, i m thinking about an edit mask for customer entries so that the changes can made from normal ppl. Its obvious that it would be smart to allow the user only to pick values which really exist, means I give him a <SELECT> + <OPTION> so he can only choose valid data ... The problem is that I expect the <SELECT> to grow giant coz there r a few thousand entries! .. which leads to following questions .... 1: how much data can a browser (mozilla) handle in one HTML/Formular/<SELECT>? 2: is there a smarter way than one monster select?
