server.execute and frames

[Mats]

We have a webshop that has frames (content and "menu in two parts")
I'm experimenting with the general layout and have changed the
location of the link to the cart to be in the (upper) menu frame. The
cart is hidden unless you "call" it.
When something is added to the cart there is a redirect back to where
the customer put something in the cart.
But I also want the link to the cart to change so that it reflects the
fact that something has been put there.
I've tried Server.Execute( "logg2.asp" ) but nothing happens, but a
refresh changes the link.
We use Server.Execute for asp pages in the same frame and that works,
so
I suspect this to be the result of logg2.asp being in another frame
than basket.asp (the cart).
Any ideas (besides not using frames)
Mats
PS I'd rather use dhtml and layers, but the browser support for that
is not sufficient (yet)

If I understand correctly you are trying to direct something to another
frame? If sp ASP can't do this. It's all serverside and has no idea of
frames. You'll hace to use clientside calls to move the other frame.

Nope- I'm not trying to direct something to another frame. As ASP is
serverside I thought that a Server.Execute would generate a result
regardless of frame, but that does not seem to bee the case.
Server.Execute( "logg2.asp" ) should simply result in a slightly changed
link to the cart, the visible text now "You have items in your cart"
instead of just
"Your cart", but nothing happens. However if you refresh the side
(e.g. hit F5)
the text changes
