load <option> with ajax when open <select>

I've a long list of items in a select box (more or less 6000). When I load the PHP page, it takes a while. Because of the fact, that this <select> is very rarely chanced, I would like to load the <option>´s just in case, that I need them.

I would call the jquery function

$("#select_id").load("code.php").change();

But which handler should I use? And how can I shot the user, that this is loading for 1-2 sec.?

Try this:

var $select = $('#select_id');
$select.load('code.php', function () {
    $select.change(function() {
      alert('Handler for .change() called.');
    });
});

We have used the Callback Function here. So, the code select.change() will be executed after post-processing and HTML insertion has been performed.
