You haven't answered the "WHY" part ! The keycode for the PrintScreen/SysReq key is 44. However, you will not be able to trap it either in onKeyPress or onKeyDown events. You *might* be able to catch it in the KeyUp event but by then the screen has already been captured. A trick that you could apply however, would be to clear the clipboard in the onKeyUp event. That would overwrite the captured screenshot.
However, you are assuming that the user cannot use any of (the million and freely available) screen capturing software available to take a screenshot. Mozilla even provides addons to print screen. How will you disable them ? As I have said since time immemorial, don't publish something on the web if you fear that someone will steal it.
