Inserting large quantities in IndexedDB's objectstore blocks UI

I want to save some ~35000 objects in my IndexedDB's objectstore. I am using below code to insert.

AddListings = function (x2j_list_new, callback) {   
    var transaction = db.transaction(["listings"], IDBTransaction.READ_WRITE);
    var count = 0;
    transaction.oncomplete = function (event) {
        if (callback) {
            console.log('x2jShowListing Added ' + count + '/' + x2j_list_new.length);
                callback([count, x2j_list_new.length]);
            }
    };
    transaction.onerror = function (e) {
       console.log("myError: ", e);  
       if (callback) {
          callback(false);
       }
    };
    var store = transaction.objectStore("listings");

    $.each(x2j_list_new, function (index0, item0) {
        var request = store.put(item0);
        request.onsuccess = function (event) {
            count++;
            // event.target.result  
            };
        });
    });        
};

The above code works fine, but looping and inserting over ~35000 objects makes the UI unresponsive for ~200 seconds. I thought maybe i can use WebWorkers, but IndexedDB is not available inside WebWorkers. I tried to find a way to bulk insert, couldn't find one. Any ideas of how to insert large quantities of objects without blocking the UI?

You're on the right track, but you're asking the browser to store 35,000 objects before it's had a chance to finish storing one. Here's code which asynchronously waits for one request to finish before starting the next (but using the same transaction):

    openRequest = window.indexedDB.open("MyDatabase", 1);
    openRequest.onerror = function(event) {
        console.error(event);
    };
    openRequest.onsuccess = function (event) {
        var db = openRequest.result;
        db.onerror = function(event) {
            // Generic error handler for all errors targeted at this database's requests
            console.error(event.target);
            window.alert("Database error: " + event.target.wePutrrorMessage || event.target.error.name || event.target.error || event.target.errorCode);
        };
        var transaction = db.transaction('item', "readwrite");
        var itemStore = transaction.objectStore("item");
        putNext();

        function putNext() {
            if (i<items.length) {
                itemStore.put(items[i]).onsuccess = putNext;
                ++i;
            } else {   // complete
                console.log('populate complete');
                callback();
            }
        }           
    };
