Here's a brief sample:

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
<SCRIPT language=VBScript>
Sub text1_onkeypress()
	MsgBox CStr(window.event.keyCode)
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><INPUT id=text1 name=text1></P>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Note that not every keypress will be detectable by this means - TAB in particular gives me fits on this (somebody hold my tongue!).
