[Javascript] Memory Useage

[Mike Dougherty]

Do you really need 6000 points in this dataset?  I bet the user is only
concerned with one at a time.

If you're building a client-side application that minimizes
'round-tripping' then I guess you would want all the data delivered at
once...   I'm just questioning the usefulness of a 6000 entry drop-down
box.  (the scrollbar's box would be about 1 pixel high and only move 1
pixel for each few pages of data)

Sorry I provide no useful insight towards the answer

I have a requirement for quite a bit of data on a page, to be accessed
from
Javascript. For instance, 6000 names, each with lat/lon coordinates,
accessed from a series of drop-downs. The easy way would be to store
them in
an array, but I am a bit concerned that  viewer's computers might not be
able to cope. Am I right to think this, or is it not a problem ?
