How to disable <br type="_moz" in contentEditable div in firefox

Question

Firefox automatically inserts a

 <br type="_moz">

in contentEditable divs on press of enter key. It also adds a <br> automatically when I insert any element through document.execCommand.

This behavior is not present in other browsers.

How to prevent this from happening in firefox.

Answer 1

If you are using jQuery, you can try add onchange="$(this).children('br[type=\"_moz\"]').remove();" on your div. It will destroy any childrens of div with type='_moz' at anytime.
