    I think you need to categorize your select items first so the user doesn't go crazy shuffling through that many items.

    I think there is not limit, but nevertheless, to display more than 1000 items is a little tired to read. May be if you make groups of items by categories would be faster and easier to display and read.

    since you said after 1000 items it doesn't display something, then I guess there should be a limit. make sure you didn't close any tags. as far as I know, there are no limits in html. anyway, what do you need it for?

    These acronyms you are using are confusing, but you may want to try to add a categorization scheme for these 'CVE's and 'IAVA's. Because you used acronyms, I don't know if that is possible, but if you are running into a limit, whether inimical to they standard or just set up by your browser, this is the best way around it.
