function submitCart () {
$.post(
     "scripts/savecart.asp",
     $("#form1").serialize()
);}

Not enough information to tell you.

you should include some error handling in your script, at least to marrow down the problem. look up jquery ajax error handling

If you have get an error in Safari then you probably get at least a warning in other browsers. Open developer tools or firebug or whatever you use and check both the console and the network tab while you run the script.  [Ctrl + Shift + i] in google chrome brings up the developer tools. Click on the Network tab and reload the page or submit the form and see the call that goes out and the response. It shouldn't be to hard to figure it out.

Can you give us a link to the problem page?

try to write it like so to get some error information: 

$.ajax({
				url: 'scripts/savecart.asp',
				data: $("#form1").serialize(),
				error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
					console.log(textStatus+' '+errorThrown);
				},
				success: function(data) {
					console.log(data); // or if you're not using chrome or firebug alert(data);
				}
				});

This will give you at least an error handling code like 500, 404 or 302 or similar.
