You can handle the keys pressed on the keyboard:

document.onkeypress = function(e) {
 return HandleKey(e);
}

function HandleKey(event2) {

     var key;  
     
     /* Retrieving the pressed key: */
	 
     if (window.event) {
          key = window.event.keyCode; //IE
     } else {
          key = event2.which; //firefox    
     }
	 
     /* Switching the pressed key: */
	 
     if (key == 97) {
	 
	alert("You pressed the left arrow!");
	return false;
		
     } 
	 
}

You only need to find the keycode of the "H" key.

His code already has that.
72 == H
104 == h

You are obviously missing the point

murtazamzk, try:

<script>
function backhome(e){
	var targeturl="index.htm"
	if (document.all)
	{
		if (event.keyCode==104||event.keyCode==72)
			window.location=targeturl
	}
	else
	{
		if (e.which==104||e.which==72)
			window.location=targeturl
	}
}
document.onkeypress=backhome
</script>
