Using that doesn't work either. The first word, stops registering the
click event after one click. The only way I found to resolve the issue
is, add the following code to the page:
<span class="hint" style="display:none">Hidden</span>
In this case, Hidden becomes the "first word", so the rest of the page
works with the click event.
Thanks
