Bug: Cannot read property 'parentNode' of undefined

[jasonkuhrt]

I am not sure how related to this project this issue is but here goes.

When navigating from / after a fresh page load routing seems to work ok.

When navigation from e.g. /#/intro after a fresh page load I see the following error:

You'll get a better error message in React master. It's likely that you're hitting this:

We don't do anything with parentNode, this is a problem with your app. Feel free to post some code for help but I'm closing the issue :)

Ok thanks guys, Will post back with my findings after I've had more time.

I had the same problem with 0.2 (even using the examples) but I changed to using HEAD and I no longer have this issue
