I have written a simple react component but it is not rendering the HTML on the page. Could someone please guide me where I am doing wrong?

Thanks.

<div id="content"></div>
<script type="text/jsx">

var newComponent = React.createClass({
    render : function(){
        return (
            <h2>My Name is React</h2>
        );
    }

});

React.render(<newComponent/>,document.getElementById('content'));
</script>

Your component name should start with an upper-case letter. From the React Docs:

To render a React Component, just create a local variable that starts with an upper-case letter:

The following will render as expected:

<div id="content"></div>
<script type="text/jsx">

var NewComponent = React.createClass({
    render : function(){
        return (
            <h2>My Name is React</h2>
        );
    }

});

React.render(<NewComponent/>,document.getElementById('content'));
</script>
