Yes, you can intialize combo in the div container. Please see sample in the documentation http://www.dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxCombo/samples/initialization/combo_init.html

>> I would like reopen the saved form . I would like see intto the first combox what i saved .

If you reload combobox and generate xml using some server-side script, you can set selected="1" attribute for the necessary option in the xml:

    <option value=".." selected="1">...</option>

Also you can select option by the combo API:

    combo.selectOption(combo.getIndexByValue(opt_value));

There opt_value is the value of the option which should  be selected.

If  described approach is not what you need, please provide more details.
