See the rest of my quote. When they are getting pushed, Javascript's "new Date()" is the quick answer to the problem if no one on their end has run into it before.

The new pages are definitely ASP.Net 4.0 Webforms. You can tell based on the WebResource.axd scripts, the "name" on all the input fields, and it is .Net 4.0 because the ids on those fields are "static" instead of the old nested way, which is a new feature in .Net 4.0.
I am fairly certain the old pages were done in Java, based on the .do extensions that old JSP sites like to use. This is also probably why the "new" site has been taking so long, since there was a massive technology shift taking place.
