Status in OpenObject Web Client: Confirmed

Bug description:
We had a problem with a form with lots of fields conditionally hidden (using attrs)

We were finding some of the fields were not being hidden in 'view' mode, whereas all the fields were hidden correctly in 'edit' mode. Also a JavaScript error was occuring ('obj' is undefined, on line 828 of MochiKit/DOM.js)

Eventually tracked the problem down to the logic in openerp/widgets/templates/text.mako  :

The original logic:

% if not editable and value:
<span kind="${kind}" id="${name}">
    % for line in value.split('\n'):
    <br>${line}</br>
    % endfor
</span>
% endif

This means a SPAN is only created if there is a value in the field. This causes javascript errors as MochiKit cannot find the field placeholder to modify its properties (i.e. to make it invisible). The fix is just to move the check for 'value' inside of the span tag to ensure it is always created:

% if not editable:
<span kind="${kind}" id="${name}">
  % if value:
    % for line in value.split('\n'):
    <br>${line}</br>
    % endfor
  % endif
</span>
% endif

Job done :)
