What is traversal?

So what is the final solution to this problem ?
I understood what you are saying about the breaking of code when we want to add another element between the spoiler tags and spoiler buttons . So I am trying to find out the actual solution to this problem.
Can anyone help me ?

In the video the answer seems to be $(event.target).prev().show() instead of $('spoiler span').show()

But in the last video , she said "This is good for small projects , but its will be problamatic in bigger projects". When you try to enter new elements between the "button" and "p" , then the final code will fail.

Yes, it is a low-quality solution I guess you could say. I would suggest coming up with a better one on your own, it will help you become a better programmer.
