I encountered an issue while coding where the "read more" link works correctly, but the "show less" link does not. Despite my efforts, I cannot seem to identify the error.
Within this code snippet, there is an anchor tag with class="show-less" that I am using to hide the span element with class="spanTxt". However, for some reason, it is not concealing the span element properly.
I'm puzzled by this situation - if I can use display:inline in the read more link, why isn't the display:none working as intended in the show less link?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated :)
