Insecure warning with https

HI
Have anyone encountered problem with running Moodle on https and IE giving warning about downloading insecure items whenever HTML editor (standard htmlarea) is loaded?
I debugged this by disabling html editor in user profile and warnings are gone. Does anyone know how to disable this annoying warnings and use html editor?
Any help welcomed.

We have discovered the same issue as we use IE6 across campus. Did you get a solution to this or is this still a problem for you too?

Thanks,
Anthony

I have a solution!

moodle/lib/editor/htmlarea/htmlarea.php .. line 712.. change "about:blank" to "blank.html"

Yes, I knew this solution recently.

But if I back the page with backbutton on IE7, I will see an error message(HTTP 404) in iframe.

Please give me an advice.

I found another solution myself.

blank.hml:

<html>
<body>
<script language="javascript1.2">
window.history.back();
</script>
</body>
</html>

Then, I specified iframe.src= "https://xxx/lib/editor/htmlarea/blank.html " in htmlarea.php

Full path is not smart smile

I am getting a warning even on pages which do not have the editor.

It was because I had linked to an image file that was not on a https server.

There is also a way of getting IE not to display the warning. IE>Tools>Internet Options>Security and then towards the bottom, display "mixed contents" ("display dialogue" will be checked, change that to show or yes). The exact wording will be different - my machine is displaying to me in Japanese.
