can ruby be used to create dynamic web pages? for example, using ruby to

That happens in the browser. Browsers understand JavaScript, but not Ruby.

There are Ruby tools that will generate the needed JavaScript, though.

In order for server-side code to roll images over, it would have to push new
content. This isn't how browsers normally work, although they can be forced
to do it (using, for example a META timeout tag). But this seems to be
bending over backward to avoid the obvious JavaScript solution.

Mildly (more) OT, I wouldn't use Javascript for this purpose. If you
need button highlights, use CSS and the :hover metaselector, give or
take wrapped in a bogus link while IE6 slowly phases out of existence
(FINALLY!)
