No, CGI variables always exist.
IsDefined("cgi.somevariablethatwillnevereverexist") will return true
Do <cfif Len(cgi.whatever)> instead

just a guess - you only get a referrer if you clicked on a link to this
page.
If you load the page directly, ie type it into the address bar, you get
no cgi.http_referrer.
Spent an hour puzzling over this last week!
