Snippet:

div id="menu1" style="width: 147px; height: 52px; position:absolute;
top:152px; z-index:1; visibility:hidden"
onmouseover="event.cancelBubble = true;" class="Menu"

was in a page that passed W3.org validator for 4.01 Transitional.

Transitional is for legacy pages. That is, pages that were legacy in 1998.

I then attempted Bobby validation and it told me that I should insert
an onFocus event handler in addition to onMouseover

Bobby is talking out of its backside.

(visitors will not necessarily be using a mouse).

(browser implementors are not so dumb as to disable events just because "mouse"
figures in the name but a different input device is in use. Of course not all
browsers support javascript at all, but an onfocus bogosity won't help them).
