If null means an empty string (e.g. '') or the Python value None, the
first line should be:
<dtml-if "not SerialNumber">nbsp;
or perhaps (empty string only)
<dtml-if "SerialNumber == '' ">nbsp;
It really helps to remember that anything inside double quotes gets
evaluated as a Python expression. You were initially trying to assign the
value of null (which may have not actually existed) to SerialNumber.
