                blue: this.refs.blue.getDOMNode().value
            });
        },
        render: function() {
            return (
                 <div>
                     <Silder update={this.myUpdate} ref="red"></Silder>{this.state.red}</label><br/>
                     <Silder update={this.myUpdate} ref="green"></Silder>{this.state.green}</label><br/>

Here we use getDOMNode() to get the html node:

 <Silder update={this.myUpdate} ref="red">Silder>

then get value from it:

this.refs.red.getDOMNode().value

But, if we add a div:

    var Silder = React.createClass({
        render: function(){
            return (
               <div>  
                 <input type="range" min="0" max="255"  onChange={this.props.update}/>
               div>  
            )
        }
    });

We found it doesn't work.

The way can solve this problem is by adding another ref to the input element:

    var Silder = React.createClass({
        render: function(){
            return (
               <div >
                 <input type="range" min="0" max="255" ref="range" onChange={this.props.update}/>
               div>
            )
        }
    });

登录后复制

        myUpdate: function(){
            this.setState({
                red: this.refs.red.refs.range.getDOMNode().value,
                green: this.refs.green.refs.range.getDOMNode().value,
                blue: this.refs.blue.refs.range.getDOMNode().value
            });
        },
