How does execCommand "insertBrOnReturn" work?

execcommand, javascript

Solution

`insertBrOnReturn` is a Mozilla specific command, Chrome doesn't support it. You can test that with:

 document.queryCommandSupported('insertBrOnReturn')

jsFiddle here, it alert `true` in Firefox, but `false` in Chrome.

If you want to insert `<br>` only, try:

document.execCommand('insertHTML', false, '<br><br>');

Also, check this: Prevent contenteditable adding <div> on ENTER - Chrome

Problem

I tried the following code on Chrome: ``` document.execCommand("insertBrOnReturn", false, true); ``` http://jsfiddle.net/uVcd5/ Wether I set the last parameter to true or false, the behaviour doesn't change: on return, new `<div>` elements will be added. Must have missed something... any ideas?
