Dear All,
First, thanks for all your hard work on RichFaces! I use it every day and it really helps my UIs.
I have an idea but don't know where to start. I have a JSF page with 3 or 4 select boxes on it, and each select box has some 2,000-3,000 entries (company names and such). This makes the overall page some 500K in size, which is slow to pull down from the server each time. I am working around this using AJAX and other tricks, but what I'd like to try is using HTML 5 local storage.
So: the first time the select box is displayed it pushes its list of 2,000 options (which rarely change) into HTML 5 local storage. On subsequent attempts it repopulates using HTML 5 local storage rather than requesting from the server.
Where would I start in implementing/requesting enhancements to support such an idea? I tried...
<rich:select value="#{my.companies}" repopulateUsingHtml5LocalStorage="true"/>
...but it didn't work?
Regards,
Richard.
