Hi Michael,

Please *reply* to a post, do not create a new message by copying the 
subject as it breaks the thread.

Please provide a better explanation of your problem then, because I did 
not understand what you wrote and what you got.

>> For my first Typo3-extension, a backend module, I have a layout problem. I want to use much of the layout from the kickstarter, but when I keep it, my own content (the main content) is on the top (source code only '<form>...</form>' [created by a php-function], and below is the standard content from the kickstarter between '<html>...</html>').
>> A concrete example for this: In mod1/index.php from kickstarter there is a function moduleContent(). In that function: if we go to switch and to case2 we have something like:
>>       $content='<div align=center><strong>Menu item #2...</strong></div>';
>>       $this->content.=$this->doc->section('Message #2:',$content,0,1);
>> Here the html-code from $content is at the right place. But if instead of html-code I give $content a function (with php-code that creates a form),  the position of the content of this function is at the wrong place, as described at the beginning.
>> How can I solve this problem?
