I'm a react newbie
and I'm Creating a simple class and function and rendering to the body.
However,
I get an Uncaught Error: Invariant Violation: React.render(): Invalid component element.  
<script src="https://fb.me/react-0.13.3.js"></script>
<script src="https://fb.me/JSXTransformer-0.13.3.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.3.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/jsx">
    var HelloWorld = React.createClass({
        render: function() {
            return <div>Hello, world!</div>;
        }
    });
    React.render(new HelloWorld(), document.body);
</script>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Any ideas on what is wrong?
use <HelloWorld/> instead of new HelloWorld()
Change React.render(new HelloWorld(), document.body); to React.render(React.createElement(HelloWorld), document.body); and it should work.  The React.render function expects a ReactElement which you can create via React.createElement.
You can see the docs here along with some other useful functions: https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/top-level-api.html
