Work around windows automatically appending DNS suffix

Question

I have an YouTube iframe in React application. On mousemove event, I want to make a component appear and make it disappear when there is no mouse movement. I have figured it out for the document but when the mouse enters the YouTube iframe specifically, it doesn't work any more.

The solution of setting "pointer-events: none" in CSS doesn't work for me since it disables YouTube features which basically works on the pointer-events. I have also tried setting event listeners on the iframe itself using "iframe.contentWindow.document", which also didn't work.

Solution

What you will need to do is configure the search domain for the Windows PC.

You haven't given details on which version of Windows you're running, but for Windows 7 (shamelessly stolen from this SuperUser answer):

• Go to Control Panel → Network and Internet → Network and Sharing Center.
• Click on Change Adapter Settings on the left side.
• Right-click on your network adapter (normally "Local Area Connection") and select Properties.
• Select Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on the Properties button.
• On the General tab, click on the Advanced… button.
• In the Append this DNS suffixes list, add the domains you want, like google.com.

Do you actually want it to look up mithrandir without anything or mitrandir.mydomain.com ?

Ideally just mithrandir, but mithrandir.argonath.mydomain.com would work too.

I was hoping to avoid having to do that. On Linux if there are no search domains specified, it simply queries what you ask it to. Is there any reason Windows doesn't work the same?
