Perhaps instead of return null, return true or false:
<a href="foo.html" onclick="return foo();" onkeypress="return foo();">
-------
function foo() {
if(!document.getElementById) {return true; }
// do stuff, then...
return false; // (assuming you're not going to foo.html of course)
}

Or, perhaps instead of returning, use 1997-era js to go to foo.html:
if (!document.getElementById) { window.location='foo.html';}
