What load is? Your method? Do some return(value); inside it!
(Or it is jQuery load method used in the wrong way?)

What does it mean, "name variable"? What's the problem?
"$.name" means the property "name" of the object "$".
In jQuery, "$" is the function object, the factory method, and it has properties which are also functions, $.*(...)...

This is not exactly "combo box"; this is HTML select element. By "display", you may mean selecting the item (option element) depending on some value you

Of course, you cannot use jQuery .load here. Please see what it does:
https://api.jquery.com/load[^].

It places some HTML in the element. This is not what you want. You want to remove selected attribute from one option element and either add this attribute to some other (or maybe the same) element, or none of them, in case there is no match.

The implementations of these operations are explained here; please see top answer to the question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/314636/how-do-you-select-a-particular-option-in-a-select-element-in-jquery[^].

Instead of .load, you need to just extract the value from service. Use general-purpose jQuery Ajax: http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax[^].

That's all. As you can see, this is considerably more tricky than .load, but nothing too hard.
