webpage_design

i am looking for ideas on the best way to design this.

I have a web page that lists 500-1000 books and user only enter a quantity for selected rows and "Submit".

Now the page is getting bigger with 5000 books and getting slow.

What would the best way to to reduce this: add a filter or split the pages.

Splitting the pages might be cumbersome because user may update 100 rows and hit "NEXT". i have to pass all the parameters to the next page and so on until he hits final save.

Is it also possible to post the ROWS tht user updates in HTML or not so i can avoid passing thousand of parameters to the database.

A .Net GridView is the perfect way to display records like this... (Automatically does paging/sorting/etc.)

with pagination ooption page display 100 rows and then NEXT for next 100.
do not i have to submit each page selections to the next page?

I did not understand what is a list view to display name of all books. Is this a page displaying 5000 names or dropdown list?
A page displaying 5000 names just like on windows, folders are displayed.

yes, but how would a user enter a quantity for that book. Does he have to click on each and then enter it. that would be very tedious. Now they just hit TAB, review the work on one page and hit "SUBMIT".
