I am expecting there to be at least hundreds of authors, perhaps thousands. It makes no sense to me to stream them all into a select control in the first place. I am aiming for a new kind of control that let's one page/filter the foreign keys. Frankly I am stunned that I seem to be alone in seeing the problems inherent with this stuff. Good idea BTW, but if the list where short enough then I'd just use the select.
