In general, use 'onkeypress' handlers for keys that generate visible characters, and 'onkeydown' handlers for invisible characters. I don't know why Opera won't let you disable the tab key. It'll take some trial and error to figure it out. (Have you tried listening on window or document instead of on the form field? Have you tried doing something like <input type="text" onkeydown="return false;" />?) Please let us know what you discover.
