Description
this is actually a bug in IE (tested in IE8 with compatibility mode on) that should be covered by jQuery.
document.getElementById("someTextInput").value = null
incorrectly assigns a string "null" as opposed to what happens in non-substandard browsers (ie an empty string is assigned). This behavior should be standardized when calling
$("#someTextInput").val(null)

Test script:
<html> <head> <script src="jquery.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function() { $('#test').val(null); alert($('#test').val() === "null"); }); </script> </head> <body> <input type="hidden" id="test" value="" /> </body> </html>

Yep I've come across the same issue. It'd be nice if jQuery could cover this quirk ;) Thx!
