In a previous step, span inside .spoiler was hidden, so if You append anything to ".spoiler span" it would not be visible. :)

I tried adding span selector to the append command, and the button was hidden as well.
<code> //1. Hide spoiler $(".spoiler span").hide(); //2. Add a button $(".spoiler span").append("<button>Reveal Spoiler!</button>"); </code> So, you must put the button outside the span so it will show.
