Hide/show the text inside the #helpText span element when the user's mouse passes over the text "How are these ran

Hello, I made a solution like the teacher notes but it only works when I clicked over the span even when I selected 'mouseover':

$('#helpText').on('mouseover', function(){ $('#helpText span').toggle();
});

What is wrong?

This is the good code! There may be an error in your html code.

Adam makes a good point, errors aren't always where you expect them. It helps to have the whole code to look at.

You can share the entire project easily by using the "snapshot" function in the workspace and posting the link it gives you.

Hi,

I upgraded the JS in this way so it appears and hides after mouseleave

$('#helpText').on('mouseover mouseleave', function(){ $('#helpText span').toggle();
});
