Sorry but that just doesn't make sense. The empty string and nil are just not the same thing. If you set a text field's text to the empty string, you will get an empty string, you will not get nil. The only way I can imagine this happening is if the text field is nil at the point you set the empty (or any other) string into it so you didn't really set anything at all.
