why not have an all option in your select box and do the rest server side?

Hi All,

I am trying to write a JQuery function which would select all my
options in the select control with the click of a button. I am able to
do it with the following function:

$(#btnAll).click(function() {
 $(#myselect *).attr(selected,selected);
});

But the problem is my select list box has more than 5000 values and
selecting each option with this method takes much time and scrolls the
whole select box.

Can anyone please help me in optimizing this function so that I can
instantly select without the user getting displayed about the
scrolling.

Thanks for the reply. But this does not resolved my issue. I think
client side code is always faster than server side code. Also I do not
want to do a post back. I have also tried it with server side code but
its even slower than the above code. Any other code would be
appreciated.
