15,301 PointsVisual DOM
It would be nice if he visually laid out the DOM when using the .prev() function to select the spoiler preceding the button, even when hiding the elements. I think because it is hidden it throws off your visual hierarchy of the elements, even though in the DOM the structure is still the same.
//PREVENT SPOILERPHOBES FROM SEEING SPOILERS
//SOLUTION: HIDE SPILERS 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
$("button").click(function () {
//3.1, SHOW SPOILER NEXT TO THTE BUTTON CLICKED
$(this).prev().show();
//3.2, GET RID OF BUTTON
$(this).remove();
});
