Problem with setting htmlText of field to empty in LiveCode 6.6 RC2

[Mark Schonewille]

Tim,

I would expect a real beginner to use the put command:

put fld x into fld y
put something into fld x
put fld y into something
etc.

Once your going to use htmlText, perhaps you're not a real beginner anymore. It seems you have a lot of experience with other programming language. Perhaps that's te culprit and not being a "beginner".

I hit it because I was doing a lot of htmlText work and the "null" condition came up so I just tested against the htmlText property instead of the text. When I discovered what was actually in the property I quickly moved on. But, I've been doing this for 20 years and it didn't really slow me down much but wouldn't a beginner be pretty confused by this?
