It would help if you told us what it's supposed to do and what is happening in other browsers.

I think I can decipher what it's supposed to do... I think he wants to add shortcuts to his site, like when "g" is pressed the user would be sent to this page, and if "h" is pressed then the user would be sent elsewhere... as to how to get that and what is happening in other browsers, I have no idea.

Bogey is correct. and the pop-up window is open in opera but when i check with other browsers it is not opening. the pop-up window should open when i press 'g' anywhere within the <div id="footerkeywords" onkeypress="respondToKey(event)">Press 'g' to open pop up window...</div>
