Try this if you want a numbers only textbox:

function numbercheck(event) {
    var unicode = event.charCode; var unicode1 = event.keyCode; if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox") != -1 || navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Safari") != -1) {
        if (unicode1 != 8) {
            if ((unicode >= 48 && unicode <= 57) || unicode1 == 37 || unicode1 == 39 || unicode1 == 35 || unicode1 == 36 || unicode1 == 9 || unicode1 == 46)
            { return true; }
            else
            { return false; }
        }
    }
    if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE") != -1 || navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera") == -1) {
        if (unicode1 != 8) {
            if (unicode1 >= 48 && unicode1 <= 57)
            { return true; }
            else
            { return false; }
        }
    }
}

And in your textbox call it on the onkeypress event:

onkeypress="return numbercheck(event)"

Just try out the following code. I have checked F5 keycode, you can check as you want 

function disableKey(event) 
{         
  if (!event) event = window.event;
  if (!event) return;
  var keyCode = event.keyCode ? event.keyCode : event.charCode;
  if (keyCode == 116) {
   showMsg("This functionality is disabled.");
   window.status = "F5 key detected! Attempting to disabling default response.";
   window.setTimeout("window.status='';", 2000);
   // Standard DOM (Mozilla):
   if (event.preventDefault) event.preventDefault();
   //IE (exclude Opera with !event.preventDefault):
   if (document.all && event && !event.preventDefault) {
     event.cancelBubble = true;
     event.returnValue = false;
     event.keyCode = 0;
   }
   return false;
  }
}

function setEventListenerForFrame(eventListener) 
{
  document.getElementById('your_textbox').onkeydown = eventListener;
  //frames['frame'].document.onkeypress = eventListener;   
}


<body onload="setEventListener(disableKey);">

I know that in I.E. you can set event.keyCode=0 to suppress the key appearing in the control. But I think you need to trap the onkeydown. Firefox might have an equivalent. This is good because it prevents the key actually "arriving" at the control.

Also keep in mind that you might need to handle combinations of Shift + key and alt + key.

a good debug technique for this sort of thing is to say windows.status = event.keyCode, and you can see what the keycode is as you type it...

function numeric(e) {
   e = e || window.event;
   keycode = e.keyCode || e.which;
   if(keycode === 13){
      alert("cheese");
   }
}
