You've got 3 options for a frame based site:

1) Add some JS code to the content frame that triggers JS functions in the
menu frame (some kind of AJAX approach)
2) if you got more than just 2 frames, set the target of the menu links to
the parent frame of both, the menu _and_ the content frame
3) set the target of the menu links to "_top"

and you've got another option:
Kick the frames completely.

You should really consider the last option, since in most cases there is no
reason for a frame based site.
