Keith,
I think you may want to consider doing everything in a single page and getting the look of different frames using DIV tags. (You can get auto scroll bars in the div and still have the browser’s main scroll bar)

The difficulty lies in that you cannot send a page to a client browser unless the client browser asked for it.
Using frames, the only way that I see this could be done would be to do something like having java script in the client side load of the page that does the save. This script would call a for a new src in the target frame that shows the data causing it's page to be recreated on the server.
You would have to pass a parameter into the page that shows the data (probably a primary key) and refresh your data table based on that.

We have spent a lot of time over here trying to do similar to what you are looking for and
ultimately we scrapped the concept of using frames. Even worse, we had a lot of lists that made frequent postbacks which would cause a lot of screen flicker so ideally we wanted to keep the refresh areas small.
I’ll let you know if I find any of the old prototypes I had done with frames. I can’t remember all the syntax and it was a bear to find.
