You could have an alphabet pre-selection of the users available in the dropdown if you *must* keep the dropdowns - but an autocomplete would be good. They're probably just after dropdowns because they haven't seen another niftier solution though - it's up to you to educate them.
If you're still experiencing large amounts of data - you can also consider gzipping the content at server level and allowing the browser to decompress at the other end. Of course, using an ajaxian technology severely reduces the amount of traffic in the first place. On 6/29/07, Tom Chiverton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

There is no getting away from that, unless you want to narrow it down by department, initial letter or some other drop down first. Maybe a set of recent or favourite users could be kept be user too. -- Tom Chiverton Helping to conveniently e-enable internet IPOs on: http://thefalken.livejournal.com **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
