$("#id").val(null) sets string "null" as value in IE

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)

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