Buttons in jQuery Exercise Aren't Covering Spoilers

https://w.trhou.se/x5vy0wni6y

I've checked the code a few times, and I don't see where the code error is.

At the moment, there's an issue where the spoilers are revealed instantly when the page loads. The buttons are not covering the spoilers.

Why aren't the buttons covering the spoilers?

Hi Alexandra - issue seems to be with the quote marks in your code. Here's your code:

// Hide the spoiler text on page load
$(‘.spoiler span’).hide();

I changed it to this and it worked:

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