Cascade Singletrack Site Requirements

To deploy collaboration tools and other interactive features, the website currently uses Strict XHTML.

External site content (e.g. Twitter, Google) relies on embedded JAVASCRIPT. There are a few minor site features which also use Javascript.

 

Obsolete browsers treat this embedded Javascript content as an ActiveX security risk.

To get around this, the site could be added to the Trusted Sites list, in Internet Options, using a Medium-Low or Low setting to ignore the supposed ActiveX issue.

Since ActiveX is the favored way to get Malware and viruses on your computer, don't just enable UNSIGNED ActiveX for regular internet use.

The latest versions of modern browsers properly handle the embedded content and will have no problem showing it, even with high security settings.

If the page is displaying a warning that JAVASCRIPT is disabled, that is because the 'Active Scripting' options are disabled in Internet Options (in Internet Explorer), or Javascript is disabled on other types of browsers.

 

Maps Missing?

Browser extensions (e.g. Ad Blockers) often modify web pages and so may cause the maps and other images to not appear.

Maps and images can be reenabled by adjusting the browser extension, to not restrict content.

The content restriction is usually for ads, but the site can be affected by other types of content restrictions.

To test, try viewing the site with a browser which does not have extensions (e.g. Chrome Incognito).

The site is Ad-Supported, with an ongoing effort to keep those ads on-topic and non-intrusive.

Google Maps: In general, if the map won't load and appears frozen, then the issue is with either browser security settings or the firewall.

To enable the Google Map and other external content, In Security Settings, enable 'Allow Websites to open windows without address bar or status windows', 'Display mixed content'.

Some security programs and third-party browser plug-ins are designed to modify webpage content and may interfere with the map display.

The Internet Explorer browser cache can cause Google Maps to not load.

Internet Explorer and other obsolete browsers

Internet Explorer (and old versions of other browsers) offer less security and graphics capability, so should be considered obsolete.

Older browsers are typically used on older computers, which will choke on high-bandwidth content. Try running Google Chrome on any PC which is too old to run Edge.

Adjusting the Tools/Internet Options/Browsing History to increase the temp file disk space, and changing the page refresh setting to not refresh the data on each page load, may help older browsers.

All of the new features of this site require at least IE11, or the latest versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox and other browsers.

Some effort has been made to ensure the site functions with older browsers, but the user experience will be very basic.

Sorry for any inconvenience technical issues may cause. Cross-browser compatibility is a constant effort.
