Recipe 2: Preload Metadata

Metadata that will be used across the application in various places can be cached using the application cache by using the JSON format and storing them as a javascript resource. Additional javascript code can be used while loading pages to include metadata from the javascript files and populate the combo boxes.

Recipe 2: User Data/Preferences

Instead of the user scrolling through the entire list the most recently used items are promoted to the top, so the user can simply choose from his/her MRU list. We can attach a listener to the submit event of the form containing the combo box that requires the MRU functionality and store the values on each submit. When the form/page is reloaded the data stored in the HTML5 storage can be read back to construct an MRU list of items that can be appended to the top of the combo box.
