I would have thought it was a mixture of css and javascript. I doubt they are actually images (especially the rounded corners). I am sure cscgal will tell you how to do it.

I go the CSS and images route, mostly because I was having a problem getting the JavaScript method to be as cross-browser compatible as I would have liked.
