Did you read the jQuery doco on keypress?

keypress doesn't get triggered by "modifier" keys like shift, alt, etc. Use keyup or keydown instead.

Note that alt tends to activate the browser's menu, so subsequent keypresses may not register in your web page.

There are several web sites where you can try out the differences between keypress, keyup and keydown.

Works fine for me: Examples (Click in the result box, then type)

I think you just missed a semicolon.
