presents only an X number of items initially, and load the rest on demand ?

That's exactly why I said there would still be "issues". That one is a non-issue though if you ask me: in this case, just do not attempt at selecting/highlighting the employee if it's not in the list; I don't think users will even notice.

I was looking at this issue  because I have a very, very large data set to explore (maybe 10,000's of rows) and was considering that the initial fetch would be "around" the requested ID - eg in zixzigma's example employe/777 would fetch employees 750 - 800 (say). This means that the list must be capable of expanding both forwards and backwards (towards the 0th element) but I can't see any reason why thats not workable. Am I wrong?
