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.
