dhtmlxgridcell script taking too long to execute ?

I have a dhtmlxGrid. One of the columns of which is of type “co”.
I am populating the values fetched from the DB, in the combo values list.
There are around 23K values to be put in the combo.
The combo values, are populated using combo.put() . But IE shows a dialog saying

The firefox dialog, said the script was in the file dhtmlxgridcell.js line:224.

Can something be done to overcome this issue ?

P.S: The delay I am sure is in the client side population, as the server logs show the values being returned to the client in 2-3 secs.

Thanks.

23K tis really big list of options. You can try use “combo” eXcell type which can allow you loading options from external source. Please check example here dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dht … combo.html
and tutorial here docs.dhtmlx.com/doku.php?id=dhtm … cell_combo
