How do I create descriptions for the levels so that when respondents hover over the text, they can see it?

There are many ways to do this with CSS and javascrtip.

The simplest way to do this is to use the ‘title’ attribute in html markup.

1. Enter your text in the text element
2. change the view to codeview \</\> - now you can see the raw html
3. mark up the text you want to add a rollover. A span is a good idea to retain text flow.  
to e.g.

This is next word will be an active rollover.
