I thought I'd update this thread myself. Decided to change approach, I've spent hours working out how to do what I want, and mananged to achieve something close but not exact. I'm really unimpressed with how much work needs to be completed to create a simple form like the one above.

For people wishing to achieve what my original goal was, here are a couple of useful links I found:
