react-router-component Routes All URLs to same component

Question

I am trying to add routing to my simple blogging/short stories app with react-router-component, but no matter what url is entered it shows the same component. The url appears, but it's always the same component that is rendered even though I specified a different handler, so "localhost:3000/" and "localhost:3000/category" both show the same component even though I specified a different handler for "/category". The file looks like this:

'use strict';

var React = require('react');
var Router = require('react-router-component');
var Locations = Router.Locations;
var Location = Router.Location;
var MainPage = require('./components/views/main-page.jsx');
var CategoryPage = require('./components/views/category-page.jsx');

var App = React.createClass({

  render: function () {
    return (
      <Locations>
        <Location path="/" handler={MainPage} />
        <Location path="/category" handler={CategoryPage} />
      </Locations>
    )
  }
})

React.render(<App />, document.body)

I'm using react-router-component, not react-router, but I figured out the answer. I needed to add "hash" to the locations. So it works like this:

'use strict';

var React = require('react');
var Router = require('react-router-component');
var Locations = Router.Locations;
var Location = Router.Location;
var MainPage = require('./components/views/main-page.jsx');
var CategoryPage = require('./components/views/category-page.jsx');

var App = React.createClass({

  render: function () {
    return (
      <Locations hash>
        <Location path="/" handler={MainPage} />
        <Location path="/category" handler={CategoryPage} />
      </Locations>
    )
  }
})

React.render(<App />, document.body)

Thanks for all the help!
