Try this: 

$("#continue").live("keyup",function(e){
 if (e.keyCode == 32 || e.keyCode == 13) {
    $(this).trigger("click");
  }
});

I covered this in this post a bit: EnterKey is not working sometimes in IE8, using jQuery's keyPressed

But basically there are "Special Keys" that won't fire on keypress and you have to use keydown or keyup.

Example here: http://jsfiddle.net/uS4XK/1/

Though I have to be honest this is a strange behavior to want. You want a click event on #continue when they press enter in it?

You use the argument "e", but never actually pass it in as an argument.

$("#continue").live("keypress",function(){

needs to be:

$("#continue").live("keypress",function(e){

You need to check if the $(this) really matches your button.

Try replacing :

$(this).trigger('click')

With

$('#continue').trigger('click')
