Empty hint on a formitem in IE 8

[geletkaf]

Hi,
we found a small issue with setting an empty hint on a formitem in IE 8.
Please see your showcase called FormHintsSample and replace line 50 with call:

caseNumber.setHint("");

In IE 8 when the item has a focus and then you press tab > 'null' is shown as a hint.

Tested with: v8.3p_2013-09-05/LGPL Development Only

Can you fix this ?
Thanks

Can you confirm - is this a problem in other browsers (Firefox, Chrome, more recent versions of IE) or is it specific to IE 8?
Thanks

Only IE 8.

Thanks. This has been assigned to a developer for investigation. In the meantime you might want to try setting the hint to either explicit null or a non-breaking space char

We've now made a change to address this issue. It should show up in nightly builds dated Oct 22 and above (3.1p, 4.0p and 4.1d branches)
