I don't understand why reloading the page? What is wrong with:

<a href="shoppingpage.php?session=session_id&add=item " target="self">Add
this item to shopping cart</a>

in the content page and

<a href="checkout.php?session=session_id" target="contentframe">Go to
checkout</a>

in the navigation bar? Of course if you use a cookie you can remove the
session id from the query string. And if you have to access the frameset
from an other frameset page you have to add in the frameset something like

<frame src="shoppingpage.php<? if($QUERY_STRING) echo "?".$QUERY_STRING; ?>"
....

Or did I miss something?
