Need help with React

Hi,

I'm trying to make a simple react app. I'm getting this annoying msg saying: adjacent jsx elements must be wrapped in an enclosing tag.

I'm not sure what is wrong with this:

function Header(props) {
  return (
    <div className="header">
      <h1>{props.title}</h1>
    </div>
  );
}

Header.propTypes = {
  title: React.PropTypes.string.isRequired,
};

var Application = React.createClass({
  propTypes: {
    title: React.PropTypes.string,
  },

  render: function() {
    return (
      <Header title={this.props.title} />
      <div></div> // it's working fine if I remove this line
    );
  }
});

ReactDOM.render(<Application title="Yatzy" />, document.getElementById("container"));

Hey Henrik,

When you have more than one element in your render function you have to wrap then in an outer div

try:

var Application = React.createClass({
  propTypes: {
    title: React.PropTypes.string,
  },

  render: function() {
    return (
      <div>
         <Header title={this.props.title} />
         <div></div> // its working fine if I remove this line
      </div>
    );
  }
});
