    Yes, I can see the problem. It's always difficult to spot such problems,
    but my guess would be some problem with the JavaScript - there is a lot
    of it, and FireFox Web Developer Toolbar is indicating that errors are
    being thrown.

    My suggestion would be to save everything as a separate NOF file (so you
    can go back to the current version), then experiment by deleting
    elements of the copy site until it works OK, which will point you
    towards the problem.

    Thank you Max, I am willing to try anything at this point.

    Trying to gain an understanding, why would a large amount of javascript cause the website not to function in Chrome and Safari? Many other sites I visit contain much, much more javascript and function fine in Chrome and Safari.

    as Max wrote, there are Javascript-errors. now, every Browser works a little different. IE and FF seem to override the problems, while Chrome and Safari insist in showing the errors. sometimes it the other way round.

    there are more problems on the index.html (only page I looked at). FF 8.01 doesn't show all the menu, while Chrome does. what did I say

    Chrome and Safari are both based on the WebKit code base so do tend to
    suffer common peculiarities, although I think they do now use different
    javascript engines.

    When writing any computer code, it's very easy to make errors.
    Javascript is also continuing to evolve, and it may be that the code
    incorporates something that has been superseded or is non-standard.
    Consequently my guess is that both browsers may be having difficulty
    interpreting one or more parts of the javascript code on your site and,
    perhaps, failing to do so in similar ways. Of course I could be wrong...

    While javascript does have its uses, there are various reasons to
    minimise its use: there can be conflicts between functions in different
    scripts; javascript doesn't work on many mobile browsers; some people
    disable it for security or other reasons; it's not read reliably by
    search engines; and each script uses increases both download time and
    processing time on the user's PC / smartphone (and you have 22
    javascripts on your home page).

    I loaded your home page in Firefox with FireBug plugin and kicked out three errors all pointing to FaceBook (errors copied below).

    Firefox is able to get past these errors, but Chrome may not. So, I would start with resolving these, or temporarily disabling the Facebook code to see if it will load.

    Alternately you could try to load the Facebook code last so the rest of the page has a chance to load before the error stops it.
