I have a content-editable div in a html page and i have loaded it to UWP WebView. When i edit the content say i enter "Apple" and press enter new line(\n) is getting added but in the edge browser a new line div>br>/div> gets added. Why its behaving differently. I am facing problems in doing text formatting in the webview because of this problem. The problem is when i enter few lines and then when i try add a new list(ordered/unordered) all the lines above are considered as list(as they are considered as same div). Attached screen shots for reference. Please help me with this issue.edge browser behaviour

Each browser handles enters in editable <div> differently so if you want to have control over it, try using the solution shown here.

  • Appreciate your quick response. I tried the solution proposed in the link, actually it adds a
    tag after i press enter, i want to encapsulate the line content inside a div. For example im typing "Hello" and the press enter the content has to be encapsulated in
    Hello
    just like a pragraph.     – Saravana Kumar Jul 18 '18 at 13:06
  • I understand, but you might be able to do that as well - get the parent `
    ` and just edit the inner HTML. I cannot confirm 100% as I am not at my PC, but it might be possible in JavaScript. But I am not sure if that will not affect the "cursor" there
