我使用的是 jQuery UI 自动完成组合框的修改版本，如下所示: http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#combobox

为了这个问题，假设我有那个代码 ^^^

当通过单击按钮或关注组合框文本输入打开组合框时，在显示项目列表之前会有很长的延迟。 This delay gets noticeably larger when the select list has more options.

这种延迟也不仅仅是第一次发生，它每次都会发生。

由于该项目中的一些选择列表非常大(成百上千项)，延迟/浏览器卡住是 Not Acceptable 。

任何人都可以指出正确的方向来优化它吗？甚至性能问题可能在哪里？

我认为问题可能与脚本显示完整项目列表的方式有关(自动完成搜索空字符串)，是否有另一种显示所有项目的方式？也许我可以构建一个一次性案例来显示所有不进行所有正则表达式匹配的项目(因为在开始键入之前打开列表是很常见的)？

这是一个可以摆弄的 jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/9TaMu/

最佳答案

使用当前的组合框实现，每次展开下拉列表时都会清空并重新呈现完整列表。此外，您还坚持将 minLength 设置为 0，因为它必须进行空搜索才能获得完整列表。

这是我自己的扩展自动完成小部件的实现。在我的测试中，即使在 IE 7 和 8 上，它也可以非常流畅地处理 5000 个项目的列表。它只呈现一次完整列表，并在单击下拉按钮时重复使用它。这也消除了选项 minLength = 0 的依赖性。它也适用于数组和 ajax 作为列表源。此外，如果您有多个大列表，小部件初始化将添加到队列中，以便它可以在后台运行，而不会卡住浏览器。
