Updated: If you're using jQuery 1.4 use this to simplify things a bit:

success: jQuery.proxy(function (data) {
    var select = $j(this);
    select.empty();
    $j(data).each(function() {
        var theValue = $j(this)[0]["@value"];
        var theId = $j(this)[0]["@name"];
        select.append("" + theValue + "");
    });
    select.children(":first").attr("selected", true);
}, selectBox)
