Hi Kirsten, All I did was subscribe for the 30 day demo so I can log in, then using Chrome I loaded the app and hit Shift+Ctrl+I (Tools > Developer Tools). Then I just inspected the code. You could do the same with Firebug, if you want to use Firefox or dev tools in IE. You will find lots of iframes, from memory, some empty, some with bit of HTML. Anyway, looking through one of them I found the reference to coolite. Even without looking at the source I thought there is ExtJS in there, I built couple of apps using ExtJS 3 and I really like the framework, no coolite in my apps. There is a learning curve there but I think it's worth it - lots and lots of JavaScript on the front end and .NET on the back end - works well.
