<script type="text/javascript">
    function myKeyPress(e){

        var keynum;

        if(window.event){ // IE                 
            keynum = e.keyCode;
        }else
            if(e.which){ // Netscape/Firefox/Opera                  
                keynum = e.which;
             }
        alert(String.fromCharCode(keynum));
    }
   </script>
