Disable F1 key

I'm not sure you can prevent the F1 tag from being read by the browser, however if it is possible than you could do the following:
1) Set the document.onkeyup = yourFunction;
2) In your function determine if the e.keycode is equivalent to the f1 keycode
3) if so, return false, else return true
4) in order to determine the keycode for f1, write the values of key strokes to a text input in the above script as a test so that you can see what code comes up for F1

For my next trick I will pull a hat out of a rabbit (if you think thats bad you should see how the pigeon feels...)
