Very nice.
I know it's only a demo but you could reduce size of the JSON
responses by about 60% (or more) if you used smaller key strings,
something like "v" and "t" instead of "optionValue" and
"optionDisplay". For the 2500+ records for NSW it makes a huge
difference.
Like I said, very nice work.
I do so love how jQuery allows you remove all the fluff and you can
just get things done.
