I was looking at that tut, except they use a straight line/connection without rounded corners at the join – Jiew Meng Jan 07 '11 at 14:20

Indeed they do - but if you use a bit of absolutely positioned CSS within the drop down div, you should be able to align a curved image over that. – diagonalbatman Jan 07 '11 at 14:25
According to firebug, they use an image there http://images.aviary.com/images/layout/nav/link.gif.
A messier way to do it would be to use rounded corners so the green part has rounded corners and is positioned over the gray part.
