    <p>Lets render this to the DOM</p>

Hi,

What is the location of your .html and .js files? Are they located in the same directory?

Any script tags for your custom JS code need to be placed after the script tags for the React library files—i.e., React needs to be loaded before you can use it. Babel also needs to be loaded before you can use that.

yes, they are in same directory, when I change js file as following , it’s working,

const JSX = (
          alert("hi")
        );
        ReactDOM.render(JSX, document.getElementById("root"));

HI , I have try several times but still not working

<body>
    <div id="root"></div>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.4.2/react.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.4.2/react-dom.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/babel-standalone/6.21.1/babel.min.js"></script>
    <script  type="text/javascript" src="Random_Quote.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</body>

If your Random_Quote.js file contains any JSX, it should have the text/babel type on it, instead of text/javascript.

Thanks, it solved my issue
