You really shouldn't be transferring a complete select element from the server. If you already have that element on the page, and just hidden until needed, simply return the results that should be displayed as options for the select only. Populate the select with the options returned from the server.
And when I say options I don't mean return
I mean, return the value/label pairs from the server. There are examples all over the web on how to do this.
