CFQuickDocs for ColdFusion 8 Released

Today I am releasing a CF 8 version of CFQuickDocs which provides access to documentation for the updates coming out in ColdFusion 8. All of the new tags and functions are available, as well as updates to existing tags and functions. I have left the original CF 7 version out there, because, obviously, not very many people are using version 8 in Production yet. Let me know if you see any problems with this new version.

For those that don't know, CFQuickDocs is a tool that allows you to quickly lookup documentation on ColdFusion tags and functions. If you need to quickly reference the full documentation for a tag or function, and you find Adobe's LiveDocs to be slow for such quick lookups, you might like CFQuickDocs. However, CFQuickDocs doesn't contain ALL of the stuff you'll find in LiveDocs, only the CF tags and functions. You won't find documentation on Regular Expressions in CFQuickDocs, for example.

Quick observation, I just checked out CFQuickDocs and love the concept, I think I'll be using it plenty. But I went to the CF7 one and when I select certain tag categories (like Application Framework) I get back an empty list. The tags do exist since I can type cfapplication and get results. Just throught I'd point that out. I'm running Firefox, in case that makes a difference.

Hi,
I think you are still refereing to some of the old docs.
Currently in PDFForms, the datafile attribute has changed and it is now xmldata.

xmldata now allows these kind of sources: xmlobject/xmlstring/filename/url in case of form population and in case of action="read" file or a variable name which received form dataxml is supported.

@Thomas,
Thanks for the heads up. I hadn't noticed that, and I don't know what happened because I mostly left the CF7 version alone.

@Ahamad,
The source for my CF8 docs was the Dreamweaver update that provided CF8 support. Hopefully they'll update it with later releases.

Could the cfquickdocs site be integrated/mashed to search the functions of cflib.org?
