CF8 Tags Javascript Error

Question

I just got my sites moved to CF8 from CF7.
I am starting to experiment with the new CF8 features and I
started with the most basic - simply adding a CFDIV or CFWINDOW tag
to an otherwise empty page.
It appears that the addition of this tag this causes CF to
add a bunch of Javascript to the page, including the line of code:
"ColdFusion.Ajax.importTag('CFDIV');".
That line of code is throwing a Javascript error of:
"ColdFusion is not defined".
I am unsure if this is an indication that I am doing
something wrong in my code or if I need to contact my server admins
because there might be something wrong with the CF settings or load
on the server. Has anyone else run into this sort of thing?

I suspect you don't have a web mapping for the
[coldfusion]/CFIDE dir? You
either need to have that directory web-accessible, or use
<cfajaximport> to
tell CF to use a copy of the files from another directory.
See

for more detail.
