I'm trying to set some fields up to enable the user to right click for additional popup information. I've got tooltips set up, but I'd like to provide more tailored, formatted information.

I've tried the following method in the click, mouseup or mouseenter events and none have worked:

if (event.button == 2) {
alert("message");
}

Any suggestions?

There is no right-click documented for Acrobat/LCD JavaScript.
So, your script won't ever work.

I've used popups for more in-depth information.

You can't do the right click, but you can do something like a question mark or some other identifiable mark that people can click on for more info.

I've been using Windjack's AcroDialogs which makes dealing with popups much nicer.
