Applescript JavaScript "End of Line but found identifier" Error when controlling Google Chrome

Question

The following is a part of my AppleScript script that should click an element in the current tab of Google Chrome with name 'connect'.

tell app "Google Chrome"
do JavaScript "document.getElementsByName('connect').click();" in current tab of first window
end

When is runs, it returns the following syntax error:

Expected end of line but found identifier.

How would I get this to work?

Yeah, tried that one. I wouldn't have posted the question if I had tried other answers and they worked. — woff

Never mind. I figured it out.

Here's the code:

tell application "Google Chrome"
    execute front window's active tab javascript "document.getElementsByName('connect')[0].click()"
end tell
