If the id of the element being returned doesn't change, set an onclick
handler to your tab to select 5 via a javascript function, a la:
<a href='void()' onclick='returnSomeAjax(); select5();'>MyTab</a>
<script>
select5=function()
{
document.getElementsByName('tt_ticketstatusid')[0].selectedIndex=5;
}
