Perform: Part 1 Hide Does Not 'Hide' The Content!!

So The Objective of Hide(); Is to Hide The content but In This Code why it wont hide the "darth vader ......etc"

    $(".spoiler span").hide();//hiding the spoiler
  /*$(".spoiler").append("<button>Reveal Spoiler!</button>");
     $("button").click(function(){
    $(".spoiler span").show();
    $(this).remove();
     })*/

The script is correct. The issue must must be within the HTML. Can you provide a HTML snippet?

Everything looks ok in the HTML as well. I suspect the javascript is not executing. Try adding the alert method at the top of your app.js file - alert("something"); if the alert does not display there is an issue.

It's possibly to do with the location of your 'app.js' file. Is it in a folder called 'js'?
