Jason,
4 things:
1) you need cf5+ for cfdump to work. If you don't have cf5+ look for the
custom tag cf_dump.cfm -- it's WELL worth having.
2) If you create a variable in a custom tag (in this case the "files"
recordset) it is not available outside the custom tag. However, you can
reference the caller scope inside the tag:
<cfdirectory
directory="#getdirectoryfrompath(getcurrenttemplatepath())#"
action="list"
name="caller.files"
filter="*.html"
sort="name">
3) id you want to use this custom tag lots you would probably want to
pass in the folder as an attribute
4) Does it really need to be a custom tag? Maybe it does -- depends what
you're doing.
