Leading space is not getting retained in IE
<p>I am working on one application, i am facing one problem on Internet Explorer while retrieving inner HTML of div.</p>

<p>I have below input for retrieving :</p>

<pre><code>&lt;div&gt; This is first segment&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I have used jquery script to extract content.
i.e.</p>

<pre><code>$('div').html();
</code></pre>

<p><strong>Output after using above statement :</strong></p>

<pre><code>This is first segment
</code></pre>

<p>Here not retrieving leading space present in div.<br>
I am expecting here is :</p>

<pre><code> This is first segment
</code></pre>

<p>I am facing this problem on Internet Explorer, It's working properly on FireFox.</p>

<p>Please suggest your thoughts on this.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance </p>
