Checkbox as a table/grid - custom code

Hi, I've developed the code to display some checkbox options as shown in the screenshot.  The required event_id is saved as a separate value:

Current checkbox options display

I want to look at re-casting the display as a table or grid.  The sort of thing I have in mind is shown in this sketch:

Intended display of checkbox options.

I understand that the Formidable Forms checkbox field strips any html I inject into $values['options'].  That makes it impossible to structure the options using <td></td> tags.

Can anyone advise the best approach to achieving this?  Is there a CSS solution that will not be stripped by the FF display mechanism?

Thanks,

Phil.

Thanks Bobby, this is now DONE! I have a follow-on question re CSS styling which I'll open in a new post. Cheers.
