The button to hide and show text works properly, however, the button does not transition back to "Hide list" and ...

remains on "Show list" TIA!

const toggleList = document.getElementById('toggleList'); const listDiv = document.querySelector('.list'); const input = document.querySelector('input'); const p = document.querySelector('p.description'); const button = document.querySelector('button');

toggleList.addEventListener('click', () => { if (listDiv.style.display == 'none') { toggleList.textConent = 'Hide list'; listDiv.style.display = 'block'; } else { toggleList.textContent = 'Show list'; listDiv.style.display = 'none'; } });

button.addEventListener('click', () => { p.innerHTML = input.value + ':';
});

It's a little spelling error. The line that should change it to "hide" is setting the "textConent" property (with 3 "t"s) instead of "textContent" (4 "t"s).
