[jdjlist] RE: Performance Issues

[U. Penski]

The programmer should look at the bubblesort example program e.g. of the Sun "HotSpot" compiler : Sort your entries (e.g. by first letter) and realize a 2 step approach (e.g. 2 comboboxes - the second one is filled with a subset of the items after the first one has been selected) !   sincerely, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: Alan Williamson To: JDJList Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2002 9:55 AM Subject: [jdjlist] RE: Performance Issues -----Original Message----- From: Alan Williamson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 September 2002 08:52 To: JDJList Subject: [jdjlist] RE: Performance Issues A combo box with 80,000 entries in it is useless to the user regardless of memory issues!!! I don't know if there is a limit in the HTML but I'd say the *user* will reach a limit long before the *computer* ever will. I would say this has to be definitely < 1000 or better yet, < 100.   [ArW]  I would have to agree with this post from Scot ... this isn't a technical issue as more of an HCI issue.  Even if this was a local client side application ... 80,000 items to scroll past ... really is asking a lot of the poor user.
