Answer 1

If you have something like

Uncaught SyntaxError: embedded: Unexpected token

You probably missed a comma in a place like this:

  var CommentForm = React.createClass({
  getInitialState: function() {
      return {author: '', text: ''};

  }, // <---- DON'T FORGET THE COMMA

  render: function() {
      return (
      

          
          
          
      
      )
  }
  });
