Another thing I noticed:
With the attached, 'keyup' doesn't fire if you use an alert() in the
'keydown' or 'keypress' handler.
Well, actually, it fires sometimes in Firefox and Safari, but it's not
very consistent. Avoiding alert()s makes things more consistent.
I also noticed that with the attached in Opera, if you press the spacebar
in the field, the alert that pops up disappears right away because the
space somehow gets invoked on the OK button on the alert().
