I would try using the new version of CK editor and not use the
richtext="true" attribute. IIRC the older versions of FCK editor used an
iframe. I am not sure if the version of CF you are using does the same
thing. The new version of CK editor is less obtrusive and uses a plain text
area field like so.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></script>
<textarea name="editor1"></textarea>
<script type="text/javascript">
CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1' );
</script>
With JS being as fickle as it is I would image that there would be less of a
chance that you would run into problems using the newer version.
This is all speculation, but that would be the first thing that I would try
