Bind w/Closures

[GoogleCodeExporter]

var keys = ["Alt+a","Alt+r","Alt+p","Alt+j","Alt+h","Alt+c"];
var baseUrl = "http://www.public.omu.edu/";
var localUrl = ['index','portfolio','projects','photographs','contact'];

function bindUrl(item){
    window.location = baseUrl + item + ".html";
}

function makebindUrl(item){
    return function(){
        bindUrl(item);
    }
}

function handleKeyboardShortcuts(){
    for(var i=0;i<keys.length;i++){
        var item = localUrl[i];
        alert(item);
        $(document).bind('keypress', keys[i],makebindUrl(item));
    };
}

$(document).ready(function(){
    handleKeyboardShortcuts();
});

Hi, 

I am trying to bind several events in a loop using closures but
unfortunately failing every single time.

Any possible pointers would be of immense help.

I tried your code but used keydown instead of keypress and it worked
so if there is no special reason for using keypress you may get the same result 
this way.

Many Thanks!

However, is keydown broken or my usage was simply wrong ?

Also, is it possible to just capture "Alt". No additional key ?

I tried it but it didn't work.
