Another solution is not to use in-line JavaScript.
I may be missing something here but when WinXP SP2 was installed on all
the PCs at work, all it seemed to block were (popup) windows that opened
automatically (i.e. onLoad). A link that requires a click, such as:

if your script attaches onclick behaviours on load via the DOM, i

The best and only way i do pop-ups is
href=http://google.com/; onclick=window.open(this.href, 'popupwindow',
'width=400,height=300,scrollbars,resizable');return false;
this allows you to do whatever you like with the link and also makes it valid,
right click-able and so forth..

Remeber to put onKeypress too
I'd disagree. I've had this rant before, but here goes: onclick is not a
device specific handler. Onclick is also activated by the keyboard (e.g.
hitting return when focus is on a link). It's a misnomer, and should
really be onactivation or something.
OnActivation would proberly be better to use, only reason i state to use
onKeyPress is that validators moan if u dont use it.
But whatever way you activate the link, this is still the best way to get
a pop up or a new page.

That's the problem -- there is no onactivate, but that is what they
probably should have called onclick though.

My vote: let the automated checkers moan about this all day. Ignore them.
Don't add onkeypress in the name of accessibility and device independence...
Try telling that to SOCTiM who check all local council sites, they take
a sequence of tests? Proof of pudding ...

Think of onclick as a 2-action process: mouse down selects the object, mouse
up - if still on-focus - activates the link, in this instance. Same for
keyboard action: tab to object selects it, enter/return activates it.
Oh, something just occurred to me: best make it explicit
