$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#input_6_4\\.3_label").html("City/Borough");
    $("#input_6_8\\.3_label").html("City/Borough");

    $("#gform_next_button_6_42").click(function(){
        alert("hi");

    )};
});

Firebug keeps spitting out a syntax error with the above code with the offender being these characters:

)};

Any ideas at what's wrong because the code seems good to me?

They are in the wrong order:

)};

Should be:

});

it should be });, you close your arguments list before closing the function body.
