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>
Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.

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