Displays and logs debugging data about the state of an application at the time the CFTRACE tag executes. Tracks runtime logic flow, variable values, and execution time. Displays output on the application page or, in Dreamweaver 5 and later, in a Studio window. ColdFusion logs CFTRACE output to the file logs\cftrace.log in the ColdFusion installation directory.
