As I said, I didn't think it would be too hard to use the iframe shim with this script. I just worked it out in about 5 minutes. The only problem is that it probably will give you the warning I mentioned. If not, you are home free. If it does, all you should need to do is to find out how to create a secure blank page for your CMS or whatever type of package it is that you are using for your info gathering page and put its filename (and path if required) as the src attribute (empty and highlighted red in the below) for the iframe:
