No special keys at all.
There are definitely web-based keyboards out there - some places (for example CityBank) are now using them for password input in an attempt to circumvent key loggers. However there's a good on-screen keyboard built into Windows already. It's usually here: %SystemRoot%\system32\osk.exe There are also a lot of other on-screen keyboard applications (mostly to help with accessibility). They might do what you want... using HTA (perfect for a kiosk) you can launch such applications from the web application easily. Of course thye might be too much (it gives access to function and windows keys which you may not want). There also this: http://www.sitekiosk.com/ I've heard good things about it but have never used it... from what I remember it's essentially an IE wrapper that lets you present secure information in a kiosk. You can control what sites/domains can be visited, what programs can run and so forth. It also provides an on-screen, touch-capable keyboard.
