php.. refreshing frames..

hey... a quick question... i have a test page with multiple frames.. when i try to do a top.test.location.href="zz.php?AuctionID.... in the top frame. the test frame gets refreshed/updated correctly.... however, the master frame also updates. what i need to be able to do, is to update the frame , and then to update the master/top frame... any help/assistance/comments will be welcome... basically, i'm using the test frame as the frame to process/updat my database. the top/master frame has some php that also does some db calcs but it needs the test db mods to be completed first.... thanks bruce bedouglas@earthlink.net
