I went back and tried it with keypress bound to something other than left and right, and I'm still getting the endless alerts. I'm still at a complete loss.
It's possible the alert loop is being caused by using the keyboard to close the alert. Try the mouse instead (if you're not already doing that). I'm not sure what you mean by 'kill the binding, and reload it, waiting for the next hit'. You can bind to the keydown event once and then your function handles every keydown. If you want to handle each keydown (check for arrow keys, do something special in that case, otherwise do nothing), have the binding. If you don't care about each keydown, unbind until you care again. Maybe I don't understand exactly what you're trying to do, but it's not obvious to me why you would want to unbind inside the handler and then immediately call a function to re-bind. - Richard
