[jQuery] Lazy Load Select elements

[jQuery] Lazy Load Select elements


Hello everyone,
On my page, I have a select element that may contain 20,000+
options. When I ask jQuery for the select element, it loads the set
of options with it. For 20,000 it takes about 1 - 1.25 seconds for
jQuery to return from $('.boxClass)[0];. When I use standard
form.select it takes roughly 300 milliseconds.
Is there a way to lazy load the options of a select?
