Smile,
     The onkeydown event exposes the Delete key value as 46.
function chkKey(e) {
  var mykey, alt, ctrl, shift;
  if (window.Event) {
    mykey = e.which;
    alt = (e.modifiers & Event.ALT_MASK) ? true : false;
    ctrl = (e.modifiers & Event.CONTROL_MASK) ? true : false;
    shift = (e.modifiers & Event.SHIFT_MASK) ? true : false;
  } else {
    mykey = event.keyCode;
    alt = event.altKey;
    ctrl = event.ctrlKey;
    shift = event.shiftKey;
  }
  if (mykey==46)
    alert("Delete key pressed.');
  return true;
}
document.onkeydown = chkKey;
Take care,
