Using jQuery .hide(), you can first hide all of them. Then increment a variable on click, and compare its value to % 4 where 4 is the total number of available spans. Unhide the :eq() for the variable's current value.
$(document).ready(function() {
var current = 0;
// This is bound to the onclick, but you can attach it to any event.
$('#facts').click(function() {
// Hide all of them
$('#facts span').hide();
// Unhide the current one:
$('#facts span:eq(' + (current % 4) + ')').show();
// Increment the variable;
current++;
});
});
Here is a live demo
Note that if the number of child <span> varies, you would want to use $('#facts span').length as the modulo % comparison rather than the hard-coded 4 as in:
$('#facts span:eq(' + (current % $('#facts span').length) + ')').show();
