If something does not work, don't start with such complex code,
try the most simple one, and then go debugging

It turns out that the onkeypress should be all lowercase:

Tested in Chrome:
============================
<input id=a><br>
<input id=b><br>
<input id=c><br>

<script type='text/javascript'>
 var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
 for (i=0;i<inputs.length;i++)
    inputs[i].onkeypress = f;

 function f() {
    alert(this.id);
 };
</script>
============================
