How do I clear an uncontrolled textarea in react.js?

I can get the value just fine using:

this.refs.myTextArea.getDOMNode().value

Trying to set that does nothing.

In even newer version of React ( > v15 ), you don't need findDOMNode(), this.refs.myTextArea.value ='' is enough

Is the value of your textarea being bind to a state of your component?

If yes then you can't set value like this, what you should do is call setState to change it.
