When I load the page, only half of the button is visible. Similarly, when the button does not hide, it only moves down.

Here is my code //hide the span $(".spoiler span").hide();

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

//when button is pressed $("button").click(function(){ //hide the button $(this).hide;

//show the span $(".spoiler span").show(); });

On line 3 it looks like you're missing the parentheses on your 'hide'

//when button is pressed
$("button").click(function(){ //hide the button $(this).hide;<--missing--- ()

needs to be:

$("button").click(function(){ //hide the button $(this).hide();

Other than that I can't see anything else that would be syntactically wrong.
