JavaScript: missing ) after argument list

This javascript produces an error:

missing ) after argument list

In firebug with the code:

<script type=\"text/javascript\">
function add( answer )
{   
  $.post('../page.php?cmd=view&id=3523', 
    {user_id: 3523, other_user_id: 2343}, function(d)
      $(answer).after(\"<span>Done!</span>\").remove();
    });
  }
}
</script>

What am I doing wrong?

Close post() function. third string from bottom should be ), not }.

EDIT: sorry, should be like this:

<script type=\"text/javascript\">
function add( answer )
{   
    $.post('../page.php?cmd=view&id=3523', {user_id: 3523, other_user_id: 2343}, function(d) {
        $(answer).after(\"<span>Done!</span>\").remove();
    });
}

Why are you escaping quotes? The problem is here :

$(answer).after(\"<span>Done!</span>\").remove();

change to 

$(answer).after("<span>Done!</span>").remove();

or 

$(answer).after('<span>Done!</span>').remove();

Also, you're missing a { after the post() function (probably you missed the right spot, since there's another in the wrong place), so the final output :

<script type=\"text/javascript\">
function add( answer )
{   
$.post('../page.php?cmd=view&id=3523', {user_id: 3523, other_user_id: 2343}, function(d) {
            $(answer).after("<span>Done!</span>").remove();
        });
}
</script>

function d misses an opening bracket, {

$(answer).after( should not be escaped \", just a regular quote will do "
