reRender from selectList OnChange not functioning properly

I have multilevel selectOptions so the user can select Region, Country, StateProvince and City. I rerender each when the parent selection changesl. However, it only changes the first child of the parent. For example, if the values are "North America, US, TX, Dallas" and then change to Country to Canada, the StateProvince selections change, but the City does not rerender. Also, sometimes I click on the child field and see that it is incorrect. But when I click again, it has been changed to the correct values.

 

Any help appreciated. Here is my code (note that each geography has an "All" record as a valid selection).

 

<apex:page standardcontroller="CompetencyOwner__c" Extensions="CompetencyOwnerExt">
    <apex:form >
       <apex:pageBlock >

You need to call controller's function on change of select option. Right now, I could not any action binded with apex:actionSupport of select lists.
robertcw777robertcw777

I don't understand what you are saying. I do have actionSupport in there with an onclick function to rerender the child field. And, the child field does rerender when I change the parent. The problem is that the changes do not cascade to the fields below the first child field. For example, if I change Region, Country rerenders to the new selectOption values but StateProvince and City do not.
