jQuery function to use href instead of input?

I am currently using an input value in a form to dynamically kick off a function to search an array for zip codes and display like this and it works great: 

$('input[name=zip]').keyup(function() {

I'd like to make the button element be used instead so that when you keydown it performs the same function.

The "button" is a HREF element like this:

<a class="lp-element lp-pom-button" id="lp-pom-button-27" href="#"><span class="label">Calculate Quote</span></a>

I tried to alter the input element like this to use an a and also a href and switched the name= to a id= to no avail. Is it possible to do this?

  $('a[id=lp-pom-button-27]').keyup(function() {

Are you trying to use mouseup instead?

$('a[id=lp-pom-button-27]').mouseup(function () {

The element <a> can receive only mouse events and not keyboard events.

Try :

$('a[id=lp-pom-button-27]').click(function() {

I do not see how you can keyup on a button, click event seems a better option for me.
