From the site Enrique posted:

window.history.forward(1);
document.attachEvent("onkeydown", my_onkeydown_handler);
function my_onkeydown_handler() {
    switch (event.keyCode) {
        case 116 : // 'F5'
            event.returnValue = false;
            event.keyCode = 0;
            window.status = "We have disabled F5";
            break;
    }
}

You have a design flaw with your page, consider adding a "Refresh..." button to the page instead, or have it dynamically updating like stackoverflow.com does.
