Problem creating dependent picklist in Visual Force

Hi,

 

I am trying to create a simple dependent picklist in Visual force. I am using apex: actionsupport tag to re-render the dependent picklist and select the specific values for it on the basis of selected value from main picklist.

 

Mani Picklist:  Project Office

Dependent Picklit : Building  

 

The issue I am facing is when I change the value of Main picklist (Project Office) it is re-rending the other picklist. But in getter of the child picklist( getTestBuildinglist() )  I am not getting the new selected value. So in getTestBuildinglist()  function the value of SelectProjectOffices is always ‘Select One’ . Idealy it should be the selected vale(‘ABC’ or ‘XYZ’ whatever user select from the Main picklist)

 

Any idea what I am missing or any other approach which can help me to implement this.

 

Here is the sample code

 

*************************VF PAGE*******************************

<apex:page controller="testController_Rajan" cache="false" id="myPage" showHeader="false" sidebar="false" standardStylesheets="true">  
 <apex:form id="myform">
 <apex:pageBlock id="mypageBlock">
 <!-- Creating Project Office picklist and binded with SelectProjectOffice contoller -->
 <apex:pageblockSection ><apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
<apex:outputLabel value="Project Office" for="ddProjectOffice"></apex:outputLabel>
<apex:selectList value="{!selectProjectOffices}" id="ddProjectOffice" size="1" required="true">
                        <apex:actionSupport event="onchange"  reRender="ddbuilding" immediate="true" />
                        <apex:selectOptions value="{!TestProjectOfficeslist}"/>
</apex:selectList>
</apex:pageBlockSectionItem>


<apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
                    <apex:outputLabel value="Building" for="ddbuilding"></apex:outputLabel>
                    <apex:selectList value="{!Buildingvalue}" disabled="{!EnabledBuilding}"  id="ddbuilding" size="1" required="true">
                    <apex:selectOptions value="{!TestBuildinglist}"/>
                    </apex:selectList>
</apex:pageBlockSectionItem>    
</apex:pageblockSection>

</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>  
</apex:page>
