I would suggest you using a class for all you link as well as passing the name of the file you want to load in the iframe using data attribute:

<li><a class="anchor" data-url="faq.php" href="#">FAQ</a></li>
<li><a class="anchor" data-url="about.php" href="#">Contact Us</a></li>
<li><a class="anchor" data-url="help.php" href="#">Help</a>
    <ul>
        <li><a class="anchor" data-url="subscribe.php" href="#">Subscribe</a></li>
        <li><a class="anchor" data-url="recipe.php" href="#">Recipe</a></li>
    </ul>
</li>
<li><a class="anchor" data-url="term.php" href="#">Terms &amp; Conditions</a></li>

Then you can use jQuery to load the content of the iframe dynamically using:

$(".anchor").each(function(){
    var el = $(this);
    el.click(function() {
        $("#mainFrame").attr("src", el.data('url'));
    })
})

Simply like that :

<body>
    <div class="content">
        <div class="left">
            <ul id="menu">
                <li><a href="#">Banking</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">How To Join</a></li>
                <li><a href="#" id="faq">FAQ</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Contact Us</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Help</a>
                    <ul>
                        <li><a href="#">Subscribe</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Recipe</a></li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
                <li><a href="#">Terms &amp; Conditions</a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
        <div class="right">
            <div>Title</div>
            <div><iframe src="" frameborder="0" id="mainFrame" name="mainFrame"></iframe></div>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>

<script type="text/javascript">
$("#faq").click(function () { 
      $("#mainFrame").attr("src", "faq.php");
});
</script>
