I have implemented three dependent picklists like below:
There is one visualforce page (standard controller for Opportunity with extension). This problem is connected with an action for Search button. Sometimes function searchButtonExecute() is not executed.
Below I enclosure a piece of vf code, tags attributes can be important:
<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlock title="Find Products" rendered="true" id="filterPicklists">
<apex:pageBlockSection >
<apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
<apex:actionRegion >
<apex:panelGrid columns="2">
<apex:outputLabel value="Product Family" style="display:block; width: 130px" />
<apex:selectList size="1" label="Product Family" value="{!selectedProductFamilyValue}" id="prodFamily" style="width: 500px">
<apex:selectOptions value="{!selectProductFamilies}" />
<apex:actionSupport action="{!setCategoriesList}" event="onchange" reRender="categories, subcategories" />
</apex:selectList>
</apex:panelGrid>
</apex:actionRegion>
</apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
<br/>
<apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
<apex:actionRegion >
<apex:panelGrid columns="2">
<apex:outputLabel value="Category" style="display:block; width: 130px" />
<apex:selectList size="1" label="Category" value="{!selectedCategoriesValue}" id="categories" style="width: 500px">
<apex:selectOptions value="{!selectCategories}" />
<apex:actionSupport action="{!setSubCategoriesList}" event="onchange" reRender="subcategories" />
</apex:selectList>
</apex:panelGrid>
</apex:actionRegion>
</apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
<br/>
<apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
<apex:actionRegion >
<apex:panelGrid columns="2">
<apex:outputLabel value="Sub Category" style="display:block; width: 130px" />
<apex:selectList size="1" label="SubCategory" value="{!selectedSubCategoriesValue}" id="subcategories" style="width: 500px">
<apex:selectOptions value="{!selectSubCategories}" />
</apex:selectList>
</apex:panelGrid>
</apex:actionRegion>
</apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockButtons location="bottom">
<apex:commandButton value="Search" action="{!searchButtonExecute}"
reRender="selectedProductsBlock" onclick="blockPage();" onComplete="j$.unblockUI();" />
<apex:commandButton value="Clear Filter" action="{!clearButtonExecute}" reRender="filterPicklists"
onclick="blockPage();" onComplete="j$.unblockUI();" />
</apex:pageBlockButtons>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
When user takes value for first picklists, values for second one are loading dynamic. For third the same way (after takes value for second picklist). Then after click Search button a section "selectedProductsBlock" should be rendered (after executing query).
A piece of my controller class is:
public class AddNewProductController {
public Opportunity opp;
public String pricebookName {get; private set; }
public Pricebook2 pricebook {get; private set; }
public List<PricebookEntry> pricebookEntry {get; private set; }

public List<SelectOption> selectSubCategories {get; set; }
public List<SelectableProduct> selectableProducts {get; private set; }
public List<CheckableProduct> checkedProducts {get; set; }
public AddNewProductController(ApexPages.StandardController standardController) {
this.opp = (Opportunity) standardController.getRecord();

ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR, 'First choose Pricebook for Products! Cancel selecting Products.'));
return;
}
this.pricebook = [SELECT Id, Name FROM Pricebook2 WHERE Id = :this.opp.Pricebook2Id];

}
}
}
Why method searchButtonExecute() is not executed every time I clicked the button? What is interesting onclick, oncomplete javascript functions are executed every time. This problem appears in further iterations (not during first processing after first use button).
Any idea what needs to be changed?
