Hi,
Write like this..

JavaScript

function checkKey(evt) {
  var keyID = (evt.charCode) ? evt.charCode : ((evt.which) ? evt.which : evt.keyCode);
  alert(keyID);
}

Ref this links..

1) JavaScript window.event.keyCode not working in IE, Mozilla FireFox, Chrome, Safari and Opera
2) event.keyCode not working in Firefox
3) Javascript keycodes not working in firefox but works well in chrome
