I've found that any browser has limits when you really push the boundaries. Sometimes it is file size, and sometimes it is just dimensions -- I found a limit around 6000px for an image in several browsers, and I was just redrawing a single color gif.

It seems clear to me that coding a browser means making some trade-offs, and one of the trade-offs is assuming limits and writing them into the browser code to keep everything working well and coordinated in 99.99% of the situations.

I think Nick's approach of "first 100, next 100" might work out nicely with a double select box. Choose the range in a first box and use that range to populate the second. Of course, you'll still be limited to 74,900 choices ;)
