Then create one. Here's the code from my <CF_DUMP> tag:

<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="yes">
<!--- 
  Usage:        <cf_dump
                    var = "..."
                >

  Attributes:   var (var, required) - variable to be dumped
  
 --->

<!--- attributes validation --->
<cfparam name="attributes.var">
<cfset var = attributes.var>

<cf_IsWddx input="#var#" r_output="decodedVar" r_bIsWDDX="bIsWddx">


<cfif bIsWddx>

  <cfoutput>
  <table border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" bgcolor="##ffffff"
bordercolor="Black">
  <tr><td valign="top">
   </cfoutput>

  <cf_dump var="#decodedVar#">

  <cfoutput>
  </td></tr></table>
  </cfoutput>

<cfelseif IsStruct(var)>

  <cfoutput>
  <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" bgcolor="##aaaaee"
bordercolor="Blue">
  </cfoutput>

  
  <!--- dump keys one by one --->
  <cfloop collection="#var#" item="keyName">

    <td valign="top" bgcolor="##ffffff">

    <cfif IsSimpleValue( var[keyName] )>
      <cfif Left( var[keyName], 11 ) neq "<wddxPacket" >
        <cfoutput>#var[keyName]#</cfoutput>
      <cfelse>
        <cf_dump var="#var[keyName]#">

    <cfoutput>

    </tr>

<cfelseif IsArray(var)>

    </tr>
    </cfoutput>
  </cfloop>

  </table>
