the below function works in I.E

document.onkeydown = function(){

if(window.event && window.event.keyCode == 119)
{ // Capture and remap F5
window.event.keyCode = 505;
}

if(window.event && window.event.keyCode == 505)
{ // New action for F5
alert(‘F8 key was pressed’);

</i>document.onkeydown = function getcode(ev) {

value = (window.external) ? event.keyCode : ev.keyCode;

//tells you the code of the button which was pressed
//F5 = 116, F8 = 119
alert(value);

if (value == 116) { value = 119; }

if (window.external) {
if (event.keyCode == 119 || value == 119) { alert("You pressed F8"); }
} else {
if (ev.keyCode == 119 || value == 119) { alert("You pressed F8"); }
}
}


Sorry about the previous script. It should be working now.
