Space in input = html line break?

Question

A followup question to my previous thread: Disable some html output in input box

I just noticed that everytime I add a space in my input, a line break is automatically added (basically the equivilant of <br> in html.

So if I typed Hello I am John in the input, the output would return:

Hello
I 
Am
John

I just want the input to space the text and not add a <br> So Hello I am John would be Hello I am John as it should be.

Hope I made things clear,

Thanks!

It was just a margin problem that was pushing my text.

You can had a space just type  

So If u want to type whitespaces without the <br> problem you need to do a javascript function that replace spaces by  

function removeSpaces()  {
   var str = document.getElementById("input").innerHTML; 
   var res = str.replace(/\s/gi, "&nbsp;");
   document.getElementById("input").innerHTML=res;
}
