Hello,
besides the warning that the link will open in a new window, also make sure
that the pop-up will work if JavaScript is disabled or not supported by
assistive technologies. The way to do that is:
a href=help.htm target=_blank
onClick=javascript:openNewWindow(this.href); return false;

Why do you put *useless* javascript: *label* inside onclick handler?

This popup is imperfect.
In examples there is always return false;.
It should be return !window.open(..);
It uses inline JavaScript -

It uses inline JavaScript - event handlers should be assigned via DOM.
As an example, you could use a class to indicate which links should
open in a new window:
a href=http://www.example.com/; class=popupvisit the site/a
Then in an external JavaScript file, you could have

lnks[i].onkeypress = lnks[i].onclick;
I'd advise against assigning an onkeypress. In some
browsers (Moz), even a TAB is (rightly) seen as a keypress.
An onkeypress on a link makes it effectively impossible to
tab past the link without triggering the behaviour.

2) If the link has a class of popup:
1) add an onlick behaviour
2) cancel the default action
3) make onkeypress do the same thing.
No, don't use onkeypress.

As a side note: using _blank as the value of the target attribute is not a
good idea unless the designer wants a *new* window to open each time

And what about what _user_ wants?
For me there is nothing more annoying that page with links to
screenshots
or faq entries that all stubbornly open in the same window
and don't let
me see more than one of them at once.
But for every user that thinks like you

possible for her to open such links in new windows (i.e. Right-click Open
Link in New Window (or Tab)).
Using _blank leaves her with no choice.
Even if a link *has* _blank, you can use the right click

I know that ;-)
My point is that setting the target attribute's value to WhatEverName
gives the user a *choice*.
It allows him to either open these links in new windows or in the *original
new one*. With
