Javascript script not running

Hi!i am doing my course in JQuery. I am having issue running my JS script file which includes JQuery. I have added the script file at the end and and script to include the JQuery libraries is also included. I have noticed that I am using the right order. First I am using the script tag to include the JQuery packages and then i am using script tag to include the JS file. Could anyone help me?

My workspace has this in it:

script.js 
$(".spoiler span").hide();

Kartik,

I suggest you look for errors in the developer console. Run the page. Open the browser's developer tools. Look in the console tab.

Looks like somethings going on with workspaces. If you refresh the preview page a couple of times it should run.
