How to capture function key presses

[petedawn]

guys,

i want to capture all the function key presses from F1 to F12. now i
want that when the user presses F1 from within the browser i should
display a alert window saying that they have pressed F1 instead of
displaying the browser help.

how can i implement this. thanks.

You can do this in IE only with a .hta file (groups.google.com). For F1
key you can use:

window.onhelp=function()
{
alert("help");
return false;
}

In which browser ?
On Windows, Mac, Linux ... ?

i.e : my Opera thinks I press F4 when Ctrl+4 are pressed :-(
i.e : on my Mac F9 to F16 are reserved for system
doubt you can catch them ?
i.e : on my Browser F1 is not for the Help
(not important it does nothing)

how can i implement this. thanks.

Implement what and why ? and for who ?

In my FF on my Mac =
F1 -keyCode = 112
F2 -keyCode = 113
....
F12 _keyCode = 123
