I have an IFRAME that is calling a stored procedure - that once completed I
need to have do a "refresh" on the PARENT window that will then call another
stored procedure to refresh a table with a result set. My problem is, I
need to keep the IFRAME at its current state. Any ideas? For example:

In the IFRAME, I would have a page that would allow the user to key in a
payment for an account, apply the payment them the page passes the payment
to a SQL Server stored procedure to insert the payment and other account
information into a table in the database. On the PARENT page, there is a
table that is keeping a "LIST" of all payments that the users has made on
all their accounts - could be one or many - evertime the user applys the
paymen in the IFRAME window, I need the PARENT window refreshed so that the
stored procedure in that page can be called to load the table that displays
the payments that have already been applied, but I cannot have the current
state of the IFRAME (payment window) changed - must stay the same - Make
sense? Just that table that lists the payments is all I need updated.
Right now I can get the PARTENT page to update ever xxxx number of seconds,
but that's not what I want, or I can get the PARENT page to update, but the
IFRAME goes back to its orginal state (information asp page), cannot get it
to maintain the payment window state.

Thanks in advance for the help.
