Syntax Error

I have this JavaScript that is supposed to show random products from my
database, and show something different every time you refresh or revisit.
But I keep getting an error - on my computer - that says Syntax Error in
Line 2.

There is no error on most other computers, and the products show, but
another script on the page, an article title scroller, stops - on most
computers, but not all. It says "no articles available".

I've tried the script on an asp page and a htm page, all by itself, but it
still doesn't work. I tried changing all kinds of settings in my browsers,
but nothing helps. I'm on XP, SP2, which I've heard has some problems
handling javascripts. I don't know if that's true, but if it is, I know that
lots of other people will have the same problem as me when they view the
page. Actually, I think it is a good thing, that my computer is pointing out
this error. I get the error message in IE6, but in NS8 and FF, I just don't
see the products. No error message.

Anyway, here are the first three lines of the script:

<%
if TRIM(request.servervariables("http_referer")) = "" then
%>

Using spellcheck, I found that referer is spelled wrong, it should be
referrer. I don't know if that is right for javascript (or asp?), but
correcting it didn't make a difference.

The script is JavaScript on an asp page, and it is called in an htm page.

Is the error obvious from the 3 lines?
