I just solved my own problem !

The following line from RTE_javascript.asp generates the prompt regarding insecure documents:

textArea.parentNode.insertBefore(iframe, textArea);

All you have to do is make thye SRC property of the iFrame KNOWN :>

Set it to some other file in your HTTPS folder like this...

iframe.setAttribute('src', 'loading.htm');

After assigning the valid filename (which no doubt carries the https flag with it), you will find that the offensive 'insertBefore' command will now function!
