Most webpages are just HTML with CSS, this calculator is no exception. 
Have a look at the page source and you'll see this (for button "7"):

<tdclass="sl">
<aid="Button7"class="btn num"onmouseup="inactive(this);return 
false;"onmousedown="active(this);ins('7',this);return false;">7</a>
</td>

See the stylesheets for the corresponding CSS.

I also notice they are using Twitter Bootstrap, which handles a lot of 
things already for you: http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/
