Second button/paragraph not showing up?

I followed the first step and everything looks the same, but when I preview it only shows the first button.

<p class="spoiler">
    <span>Luke and Leia are siblings! EW.</span>
</p>

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

$(".spoiler").append("<button>Reveal Spoiler!</button>");

$("button").click(function(){
  $(".spoiler span").show();
  $(this).remove();
});

For me it was just a matter of the cache of my chosen browser (chrome) not being updated. Ensure that you've saved your workspace and then click preview and try F5 on the page (if its resilient you can always try Shift + F5 to ignore cached content when reloading). Best of luck!

I forget now, but I'm pretty sure I went back to it and it worked for no reason. I had the same problem on the next project too.

I had the same issue. It worked when I added this to the html:

<p class="spoiler"> <!---Spoiler:--> <span>Luke and Leia are siblings. Ew.</span> </p>
