Loading a large records from database to htm select control

Please what is the best and most professional way of loading records that is as large as 50,000 rows to populate an HTML select control.

Thanx in advance.

Simple: don't.

That's way way way too much info for a select. Or any other mechanism.

When faced with a situation where a user must select from a large dataset, I present them with what I've called a "picker": a popup window (actually a floating div rather than a new window) that allows them to page and search through the data to locate their selection(s). That way they are not overwhelmed with a huge amount of data.

Kazeem,
I completely agree with Bear. It isn't usable to have that much data available to the user at once.
