Please, don't add onkeypress to this in the name of device independence... Onclick works just fine for keyboard users and for users that use alternative devices that emulate keyboard usage. If you add onkeypress you will quite possibly do more "harm" than good -- someone that uses a keyboard for navigation etc won't be able to go anywhere because the pop up will keep appearing. If I'm on that particular link myself, even pressing the tab key to move to the next link will cause the dialog to appear. Trying to open a new tab with Ctrl + T, or open my feedreader (Sage) with Ctrl + S will cause the popup to appear. It can actually become quite frustrating when onkeypress is used like this...
