Thanks Christian. That does work. Now I'm attempting to translate this into 
an application using react-elm-components.

I am already using Html.programWithFlags for passing in flags, and I can 
pass in ports using this method as well. I am now faced with the same 
problem where it is unclear when all of the DOM nodes are available Elm 
creates. I have tried using setInterval along with ReactDOMNode.findDOMNode 
to query for certain DOM nodes with no luck.
