Try to plug in an external Apple USB keyboard and see if the issue persists. But this is likely a keyboard issue. I seen something almost like this a week or two ago in a macbook with a liquid spill. If you didn't spill liquid in it just get a keyboard from ifixit or powerbookmedic. They are relatively easy to install. Otherwise if this is a result of liquid, you may have larger problems then that looming.

NO SPILLS TO MY KNOWLEDGE DESPITE USING IT WHILE WORKING IN A BAR (QUIET NIGHTS THOUGH), ITS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR A YEAR AND MORE NOW BUT EVERYTHING IS RUNNING FINE, KEYBOARD IT IS THEN !!!!

My MBP, just 1 year old developed a bad keyboard. (The 9 key would not work)

I bought a new keyboard from http://www.powerbookmedic.com

Was an easy replacement, though I was quite nervous at 1st. Just take your time and keep all screws logically placed. I used a large white towel on the kitchen table.

Make sure you have the required torx and phillips screwdrivers. Home Depot has what you need. 1 each with multiple heads for each.

The OP has an ibook and will have a much easier time than doing a macbook pro. The ibook is 4 phillips screws to remove the RAM door as opposed to removing the top case then working with the ribbon connectors then the 11-12 screws that attach the keyboard to the top case on the macbook pros.
