Syntax error in setTimeout() code

Question

I'm getting a syntax error here for a script I'm working on. Can't exactly catch what it is. How does one make this one liner work?

setTimeout(function(){document.querySelector('#enterButton').click()}, 10000);}, 100);

Line breaks help see the issue:

setTimeout(function(){
    document.querySelector('#enterButton').click()
}, 10000);}, 100);
        //^^^ wtf is that!?

Only 1 interval needs to be specified:

setTimeout(function(){
    document.querySelector('#enterButton').click()
}, 10000);

"Line breaks help see the issue" Quite. I almost want to ask the OP, "Do you actively dislike the person who has to maintain this code later?!" :-)
