simple cross browser key handler

Hi Does anyone have a simple function that captures a keystroke that
works cross browser? I just want to redirect a page when a user hits
esc... you'd think it would be easy!

Cheers,
Ciarán

About as easy as determining why anybody would think that a regular
person would think that pressing the Esc key would lead to navigation.

Here is a SIMPLE problem that I'm trying to solve. It works in Netscape 6.2, but IE6 gives ""No such interface supported." Below are page1.htm and page2.htm . In page1.htm, there are two dropdown lists. If you change the selection of the left one (e.g. choose parentoption2), it should open up page2.htm in a popup window.
