$("#div_id option:first).attr("selected","selected");

$('#myCombo').load(
                              'my_combo.php?foo=bar',
                               function() {
                                     $('#myCombo option:first).attr("selected","selected");
                               }
                      );

<select id="myCombo"></select>
