Trying to catch up, The changes aren't changing AT ALL. Last day of class, NOW I GET IT.

//Prevent spoilerphobes from seeing spoilers
//Solution: Hide spoilers and reveal them through user interaction

//1, Hide spoiler
$(".spoiler span").hide();
//2, Add a button
$(".spoiler").append("<button> Reveal Spoiler!</button>");
//3, When button pressed
  //3.1, Show spoiler
  //3.2, Get rid of button

James- The code you have so far looks exactly correct. There are a few more lines of code in the finished workspace but I am assuming you are not all the way through the lecture yet. I am wondering if you saved your index.html file after adding the jquery code. You have to save that file as well as your app.js file before the changes will 'stick'. If this helps I would love a best answer as I am on the career track and have to earn 60 points in the forum.
