I'm not very familiar with Chrome and/or Mac OSX, but a lot of things require java script. So my first guess is that you might have something similar to the Firefox noScript in Chrome?
I don't have any addblockers or any extensions enabled in Chrome that would affect java script, I don't think :/
if it were a problem with that I probably wouldn't be able to login at all, but I can, from everywhere except the home page
