Display large text fields in html

Hi List,

I want to display large text fields if a user changes wants to, like a
dictionary. for example, a php-database generated page hosts a combobox
filled with ids, if a user changes it, a text otherwhere changes. Simple
Javascript would you say, but what's if this combobox has about >1000
entries(every entry about 10lines of text)? The page loads and runs very
slow. But I don't want to reload the page everytime the user changes the
field. Do you know any solution?
I know a few: a) As is said, a 2nd textbox filled with value coming from
array.
b) The box is filled by a set of textfiles which are generated before
c) above but w/ layer
d) no box but an image, b/w-gif generated by php
e) inline-frameset which is reloaded
f) an applett which get its resource by getURL
g) ...
As I said, do you know which would be the best?
Thanks a lot,

Jan

PS. Yes, I think this is rather a PHP question.

Re: Re: Display large text fields in html

Ok, but true frames load very slow - not on an intra, but on internet.
The select is not the problem, I use cursors to output every line. At first
I did an implementation like yours but users said it's to uncomfortable
(they like static VB-Tools). Then I asked JS to reload a frameset using a
LIMIT-query from 50 +/- of selectedIndex and then just reload if a new index
is out of this range, but for me there is no ability to hide/show these
fields from JS. So i think i would have to use an Applett?

If you have over 1000 entries, each one with ~10 lines of text, I would go
with frames. Not inline-frames, but a true frames. So each change can load
the frame and show the information.

Also, a

with 1000 entries? Break it apart. For example make one
with (imagine this is a select in your browser):

/------------------------------\
Abba .... Bee Gees |V|
Beethoven .... Coolio |
ManyOptions .... ZillionOptions |
\-------------------------------/

It's an interval of choices, first the user selects the interval, which
loads another select with only these "in between" entries.

Re: Re: Display large text fields in html

What type of database are you using?

You might want to look into the creating temp tables and accessing them...
