large data volumes - Alternatives to huge drop down lists (24,000+ items) -


In the My Admin section, when I edit the item, I must attach each item to a parent item. I have a list of more than 24,000 parents, which are listed in the list below a drop (a list of music artists).

The edit page that lists all these items in a drop down menu, 2MB, and it's like crazy for people with old machines, especially in Internet Explorer.

It is a good option to repeat the same ceremony, where I will need to select 1 of these 24,000 artists, in fact they are preloaded in the drop down menu

Instead of filling a drop list with several names:

  1. Create a simple search mechanism where You are matching the beginning of a name
  2. Use categories to narrow down the selections (if any available
  3. Like some, some type of tree structure with a certain hierarchy
  4. A shortcut control where there is a button for letters or alphabet letters ( Meta-category)

Of course many of these depend on the stack you are implementing, such as whether you are using AJAX or jQuery, a DB / type access.
