Within a react component.  How to gain access to the HTML that was just rendered.

Any returned html element that is tagged with a ref, can easily be accessed by it's ref after it's been rendered.  In the below case, use this.refs["domainModal"] to access the html.  This access is limited to within the scope of the instance of this react component.
