The main point is: onclick is actually activated by the keyboard as well (just try it and you'll see). Now, in my testing, this holds true for pretty much all modern browsers - haven't done any extensive testing with older ones. Speaking to a guy from the W3C, I got the impression that the official line is that onclick is actually a misnomer for what should effectively be onactivation. onkeypress is just as device-centric, and can pose problems as ANY key pressed will activate that handler. So, for all intents and purposes, onclick should NOT be considered to be mouse centric, in the way that say onmouseover/onmouseout are. Pretend that it's actually called onactivation. There's no issue here... For the rest of the argument, see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ig/2004JanMar/0512.html Patrick Patrick H.

It's quite fine, IMO. You should consider however making it a little less mouse-centric by adding a onkeypress event that does just the same than onclick.

Change
onclick="window.open('index.cfm?id=23',
to
onclick="window.open(this.href,
This way, if you change your link's href,
you don't have to remember to change it in the
javascript as well.
Also...while we're on sitepoint, you could
just look at Ian Lloyd's "perfect pop-up"
