Function Keys as shortcuts? Orwell 02-12-2007

Hi -- I have a web page and my user wants to have shortcuts added to a
couple of buttons on the page so that the end-user does not need to
use the mouse to process. I am using IE, so I can use the "accesskey"
tag, but that only let's me enable an ALT+letter function. Does
anybody know of any way I can specify one of the function keys as the
shortcut? The request is to use F9 because that is the function key
in their current application.

Thanks in advance!

... but what matters is what the end users are using.

There doesn't seem to be.
