Tab Navigation Rollover slide effect

Tab Navigation Rollover slide effect

Hi all,

I'm an intermediate level web designer with very little experience using jQuery. I'm trying to reproduce an effect that I am seeing on John Mayer's website.

The navigation is made up of sprite rollovers that have a simple slide effect when you rollover. I'm assuming this is jQuery, but I am not familiar enough with how jQuery works to reverse engineer it and figure it out. I don't see anything in the navigation code that would be trigger jQuery. 

How does this work? Sorry if this seems obvious, but I just don't see it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Phil
