Hi All, 

I am trying to render an inputField if the user selects the field 'Other' in a dropdownlist in visualforce page. Everything works fine, but the only thing is it clears the data the user enters.  I know I can archieve this by putting a wrapper component, but I want to know if there is a way to do this without doing that. 

I have the following code:

<apex:pageBlock id="pb1">
            <apex:pageblockSection collapsible="false" columns="2" id="pbs1">
                <apex:panelGrid columns="2">
                    <apex:outputLabel value="{!$Label.City}" for="city"/>
                    <apex:inputField id="city" value="{!lead.City__c}" required="true"/>
                    
                    <apex:outputLabel value="{!$Label.Country}" for="country"/>
                    <apex:actionRegion >
                        <apex:inputField id="country" value="{!lead.Country__c}" required="true">
                             <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" rerender="pbs1" />
                        </apex:inputField>
                     </apex:actionRegion>
                    
                    <apex:outputLabel value="{!$Label.PrimaryReason}" for="primaryReason" />
                    <apex:actionRegion>
                        <apex:inputField id="primaryReason" value="{!lead.Primary_Reason__c}">
                            <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" rerender="pbs1" />
                        </apex:inputField>
                    </apex:actionRegion>
                                    
                    <apex:outputLabel value="If Other Reason is selected enter more information here" for="primaryReasonOther"
                                        rendered="{!IF(lead.Primary_Reason__c == 'Other', 'true', 'false')}"/>
                    <apex:inputField id="primaryReasonOther" value="{!lead.Other_Reason__c}"
                             required="true" rendered="{!IF(lead.Primary_Reason__c == 'Other', 'true', 'false')}"/>
                </apex:panelGrid>
            </apex:pageblockSection>
            <apex:pageBlockSection collapsible="false" columns="1" id="pbs3">
                <apex:panelGrid columns="2" rendered="{!IF(lead.Country__c == 'United States', 'true', 'false')}">
                    <apex:outputLabel value="{!$Label.Diversity_Programs}" for="diversityprogramsusonly" />
                    <apex:inputField id="diversityprogramsusonly" value="{!lead.Diversity_Program_US_Only__c}" />
                </apex:panelGrid>
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
        </apex:pageBlock>

If you see above, I am doing it both ways, but I am trying to test out if I can archieve it without adding a wrapper around the component. When I do that it works, but it clears all the data. Does anyone know why the data is not being stored to the lead object? Also, if there is a solution for this. I am looking for something other than a wrapper component.  Thanks.
