I'm not seeing any syntax that is bad in your code. When you run the code in your browser, are you seeing any errors in the console (right click in your browser --> inspect --> console)?

Its probably not working as you can only have one id per page with the same name. You have used the id 'why do' twice in the code, which is going to confuse the script.

 

Oooops ignore the above on a second look one of the whydos has an 'e'

twice ???


By @B i r n o u

 

I thought it was twice until I studied the id names again:

 

whydo

whydoe

 

Probably why one should use something more sensible and easily identifiable, makes life easier!

I don't know whats wrong with the code you posted (probably 'onClick' should be 'onclick') but this works:

 

 

 

<span id="whydoe" class="clickable">No, I meant what is it?</span>
<br><br>
<span class="hidden" id="whydo">Oh, well it refers to the action of</span>

<script>
const whydoe = document.getElementById('whydoe');
function whe() {
whydo.classList.toggle('hidden');
whydoe.classList.add('clicked');
}
whydoe.onclick = whe;
</script>
