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)

$('#test').val(null);
alert($('#test').val() === "null");
});

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