How to add a star DNS record in new 123-reg.co.uk control panel
12th January, 2012
123-reg.co.uk are a great registrar, but their new DNS control panel doesn’t let you add just a star as a record. This is clearly stupid.
To fix it:
- Open up the page in Chrome, and open the inspector (right click anywhere, select “Inspect Element”).
- Select the “Scripts” tab
- Select cp_dns.js from the dropdown at the top of the window
- Navigate to line 894
- It should say something like this: “if (OTT.validateForm(jQuery(this).parents(“form”))) {“
- Change it to automatically validate the form
- Change line to: “if (true) {“
- Press Ctrl+S to save (possibly not necessary) then add your star record happily
Someone needs to fix their client-side validation…
