combobox from select - any way to speed it up?

i’ve got a page that has about 20 combo boxes created from select boxes.



it’s working, but it’s pretty slow, i was wondering if there was any way to speed it up, i’ve checked out all the documentation and can’t find anything related to performance that would help this, i might have missed something though.



here’s a sample page.



codereddemo.com/FieldUnit/in … dalone.php



if i just use regular select boxes, the page loads pretty fast, if i use the comboboxes, it takes about 10 seconds to fully load.



thanks.josh.
