HTML Input - needs space at the end, but it's not showing

Question

For

<myDIV id="myInput" contenteditable="true"></myDIV>

I want to set "abcdefg " with a space behind.

Doing this

var myInputDIV = document.getElementById("myInput");
myInputDIV.innerHTML = "abcdefg "; //does not work
myInputDIV.textContent = "abcdefg "; //does not work

How to make sure that I get the space behind? Currently, the string shown in the div is just "abcdefg", without the space.

Thanks.
