I might help here as I was the technical lead for frontend development of LoU.
qooxdoo is used for all the UI elements. If you want to build a JavaScript RIA you need a UI framework. While most JavaScript frameworks are build to improve regular webpage's we had the felling the qooxdoo was build with RIAs in mind. The city/region view (we call it playable area) is build up with native HTML DIVs. While I had preferred to use canvas it was not possible because a huge amount of our customer base still uses IE 7 and 8. You are mostly right about the city view. The mouse interaction works a little bit different. There are additional full transparent divs on top of everything as hot zones. The region is somewhat tricky. There is a very large DIV and we add and remove individual DIVs based on the current offset. The content for these DIVs is fetched from the server. So overall the playable area itself doesn't make use of qooxdoo but the UI (which was the larger part of the project) makes heavy use of it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
