Editor won't display

When I try to load the following html segment the editor will not display:
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="1">
<thead>
<tr>
<td valign="top" bgcolor="#c0c0c0">
<div>
<strong>Location</strong>
</div>
</td>
<td valign="top" bgcolor="#c0c0c0">
<div>
<strong>Issue</strong></div></td><td valign="top" bgcolor="#c0c0c0"><div><strong>Current Status</strong>
</div>
</td>
<td valign="top" bgcolor="#c0c0c0">
<div>
<strong>Next Steps</strong>
</div>
</td>
<td valign="top" bgcolor="#c0c0c0">
<div>
<strong>Comments</strong>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</thead>

I get the following javascript error:

Error: unterminated string literal
Source File: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/mmckenzie/Desktop/fckeditor-bbext/ch1/fckeditor/_samples/html/sample01.html
Line: 44, Column: 19
Source Code:
oFCKeditor.Value = '<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="1">

It doesn't work in IE either. It will work if I remove any spaces and carriage returns between tags. This was never a problem before. what changed?
