Two divisions. Use float left in the first.
Or try using float left in the style for the first iframe.

My guess would be:

<div id="menu">
<iframe ...>...</iframe>
</div>

<div id="content">
<iframe ...>...</iframe>
</div>

#menu {
width: 200px;
float: left;
}

#content {
float: right;
margin-left: 200px;
}

#menu iframe, #content iframe {
width: 100%;
}

In this example, you can then also get rid of the iFrames, because they
suck, and use the overflow property on the separate DIVs to make them
*look* like iFrames.

Even better, don't. Visitors will be confused by the extra scrollbars.

True. It should not go unmentioned that in some browsers these 'frames'
are impossible to scroll using the keyboard or scrollwheel, forcing your
visitor to point, click and drag scrollbars (something most who have
spend a few hours on the web have come to hate). Of course this is
something browser makers should fix, but for the meantime it simply is
the way it is.

Which browsers? Opera, Mozilla, FireFox and IE all autofocus mousewheel
scrolling. Even browsers that DONT probably get forced to on most ppls
Windows installs as the standard windows mouse driver applies the mouse
scroll to all 'standard' scrollable panes (or frames in the case of a
web page).
