If something is entered and the field contains text and the user clicked "OK"
then
it = <text entered> and the result = empty
if user enters text then clicks "cancel" then
it = empty and the result = "cancel"
if user doesn't enter text and the field is empty and then clicks "OK" then
it = empty and the result = empty
if user doesn't enter text and then clicks "cancel" then
it = empty and the result = "cancel"
