Question

I’m fairly new to Jquery and Javascript in general and I was wondering, how do I change text on a button after hiding something.

as far as i know, you hide something via this code:

$("element").click(function() {
    $("element2").hide("slow");
});

and to show something:

$("element").click(function() {
    $("element2").fadeIn("slow");
});

so what i want to do is have an article type thing, and when a “hide” button is pressed, it hides all the paragraph text, but leaves another button saying “show”

How do I accomplish this?

To Hide:

$("element").click(function() {
    $("element2").hide("slow");
    $("element").text('Show');
});

To Show:

$("element").click(function() {
        $("element2").fadeIn("slow");
        $("element").text('Hide');
    });
