JQuery :: Line Break In Html/css Code?

When I want to handle html/css code in js/jquery it seems that line breaks aren't allowed. This of course makes the code less readable. Is there a workaround to this or is it simply to accept?This doesn't work:

$("head").append("<style type='text/css'>
#table {table-layout: fixed;width:650px;text-align: left;border-collapse: collapse;}
</style>");

This works:

$("head").append("<style type='text/css'>#table {table-layout: fixed;width:650px;text-align: left;border-collapse: collapse;}</style>");
