BlueDragon.NET: alternatives to CFGRID, CFWINDOW, and CFTOOLTIP

Michael Sprague has written a very nice set of CFML custom tags that use the jQuery JavaScript libraries to implement alternatives to the CFGRID, CFWINDOW, and CFTOOLTIP tags introduced in ColdFusion 8 (CF8). In Michael's words:

"This (CFjqAjax) is a library of custom tags that replicate the CFGRID, CFWINDOW, and CFTOOLTIP tags from ColdFusion 8. The CF8 tags work, but I find YUI and Ext much harder to work with than jQuery, and the file size of the JavaScript libraries that CF8 includes is excessive. So, I created CFjqAjax."

My first thought on reading this was, "I wonder if CFjqAjax will run on BlueDragon.NET?"

No changes were required to any of Michael's code to run on BlueDragon.NET (the data displayed in the CF_WINDOW example is different than the demo on Michael's web site, but is displaying correctly based on the contents of the downloaded package).

Nice work, Michael!
