title: Jquery Multi-Select For very large number of options
body: <p>Consider the case where the user have to select multiple values from a list of thousands values. The closest i got to a usable tool is the <a href="http://quasipartikel.at/multiselect/" rel="nofollow">http://quasipartikel.at/multiselect/</a> </p>
  
  <p>The main problem is due to the large number of data from which the user have to select. 
  The approach that i currently use is that the user have to enter the first character in the text box and then all the values starting with the first character shall be displayed for multiple selection.(thus filtering to a sizable list of values)</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that even then the number of values are so large that it takes a 5-15 seconds to reload the multi-select options. But once the values are loaded, the javascript filtering handles the rest, as the user enters succeding characters.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestion on any other way to tackle this situation????</p>
