var Dialog = React.createClass({
  render: function() {
    // 1) render nothing, this way the DOM diff will never try to do
    //    anything to it again, and we get a node to mess with
    return React.DOM.div();
  },

  componentDidMount: function() {
    // 2) do DOM lib stuff
    this.node = this.getDOMNode();

Making Bookmarklets

I'm feeling very clever. I've got this sweet line of javascript that replaces "cloud" with "butt". My mom would LOVE this, but she doesn't computer very well. I'm afraid to show her the Developer Console and have her type/paste this in. But she IS pretty good at bookmarks, she knows just how to click those!

A bookmark normally takes you to a new web page. A bookmarklet is a bookmark that runs javascript on the current page instead of taking you to a new page. To declare that it is a bookmarklet, the "location" it points to starts with javascript:.
