+
+Use an `innerRef` prop to get a reference to your DOM node.
+
+```jsx
+var MyForm = React.createClass({
+  componentDidMount() {
+    this.searchInput.focus()
+  },
+  render: function () {
+    return (
+      <Formsy.Form>
+        <MyInputHoc name="search" innerRef={(c) => { this.searchInput = c; }} />
+      </Formsy.Form>
+    );
+  }
+})
+```
+
+Sets a class name on the form itself.
+
 ### <a name="formsydecorator">Formsy.Decorator</a>
 The same methods as the mixin are exposed to the decorator version of the element component, though through the `props`, not on the instance.
