jQuery: Change button text on click

After seeing Toggling button text in jquery this question, I tried to re create it in my situation but can't seem to have it work.

Here is a fiddle of what I've done: http://jsfiddle.net/V4u5X/

$('.SeeMore2').click(function(){
    var $this = $(this);
    $this.toggleClass('SeeMore');
    if($this.hasClass('.SeeMore2')){
        $this.text('See More');         
    } else {
        $this.text('See Less');
    }
});

It seems to only ever run the if statement once. What am I missing?

Use :

$("button").click(function(){
  $(this).html("the new text");
});

In HTML:

<button type="button" id="AddButton" onclick="AddButtonClick()" class="btn btn-success btn-block ">Add</button>

In Jquery write this function:

    function AddButtonClick(){ 
      //change text from add to Update
      $("#AddButton").text('Update');
    }

This should work for you:

    $('.SeeMore2').click(function(){
        var $this = $(this);
        $this.toggleClass('SeeMore2');
        if($this.hasClass('SeeMore2')){
            $this.text('See More');         
        } else {
            $this.text('See Less');
        }
});

$('.SeeMore2').click(function(){
    var $this = $(this);
    $this.toggleClass('SeeMore2');
    if($this.hasClass('SeeMore2')){
        $this.text('See More');         
    } else {
        $this.text('See Less');
    }
});

This should do it. You have to make sure you toggle the correct class and take out the "." from the hasClass
