Seeing as how your code is for a dropdown and not a select box, you can try:

$('#StatusField :selected').attr('selected', '');

try passing in false instead of '', the false has no quotes around it. – David Cheung Jun 25 '12 at 20:11

Since it's a dropdown can you try:

 $("#StatusField").val("");
