              {
                  id:"5",
                  data:"I probably am using the wrong I probably am using the wrong terminology here but this is what I'm trying to do.

            <div className="newscontanier" id="newscontanier">{newsdata}</div>
        )



    }

Answer 1

You have typo newscontanier. Nonetheless you can do this like

<div ref={elem => this.elem = elem} className="newscontanier" id="newscontanier">{newsdata}</div>

and then you can find dom element

this.elem.getDOMNode();
