Selenium Python Javascript Execution

I have the problem of running this. I get back an error stating that I either am missing a ) after arguments or that I have an illegal character. I understand that it must be thinking that I am trying to insert an argument when I am not. I believe I just need help with the syntax. 

    browser.execute_script("url = '/Administration/SwitchCompany?' + jQuery.param({CompanyId: $('#companyDropDownList option:contains('DTLTest')').val() })")

browser.execute_script("$('#userInfoPlaceholder').load(url, switchCompanyCallback);" )

You have single quotes inside of single quotes in your javascript: 

$('#companyDropDownList option:contains('DTLTest')')

If you switch the quotes around the full Python string to triple quotes, you could use both single and double quotes in your javascript. Otherwise, you'll need to do some escaping.

Did you mean

browser.execute_script("$('#userInfoPlaceholder').load(url, switchCompanyCallback);" )

Change of # to $
