I want to disable (1)Back space key, (2)F5 key, (3) Print key ( near
to the Ctrl key). Can anyone help me? I also need the keycodes 
(Numbers) of all the keys on the keyboard.  The basic idea is to
prevent saving and prninting of my web pages using keys or mouse.
please help me.

If it can be downloaded to a browser, it can be saved.  All you'll be
able to do is frustrate that process with browsers that are capable of
JavaScript/Java.  For a determined person it's trivial to disable them
and then save, use a different browser, or use a command-line utility
that downloads and saves a web page.

The reality is that you're not really protecting your work, and you're
preventing someone from using the pop-up menu which has other options
than save, which annoys people.  (Also, not every browser uses the
same hot-keys for saving.)  Put a copyright notice on your page and
don't cripple your visitors' browsers.
