I'm working with a script for a survey that someone else wrote. It works fine except for IE6 (according to a friend), when it doesn't write the correct URL for a link onto an html page that it creates. It works for me on IE5.5, and for everyone else as far as I know; but not for IE6.

The script creates an HTML page and on that page is a link which is written like this:
<a href="$JUMP_URL">Continue</a>

$JUMP_URL was earlier declared like this:
$JUMP_URL="$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}";

That is supposed to link back to the previous html page which contains the survey. The problem is that in IE6, it instead shows up as empty quotes: <a href="">Continue</a> and so it links to the .cgi file. Any ideas how to fix this?

Here's a copy of the script as a text file:

The survey is here:

Thanks,
Dean
