How come Rendered != null doesnt seem to work with date fields?

I am displaying two dates (a from and to date) like this, 8/8/2011 to 8/10/2011. If no to date is entered then I do not want to display the " to " text.

I am using a simple outputText like below but it does not work:

<apex:outputText value=" to " rendered="{!Account.To__c != null}"/>

I used the same code but with a text field and had no problems:

<apex:outputText value=", {!Account.Name}" rendered="{!Account.Name != null}"/>

Any ideas?

I tried this in multiple ways and here are the solutions without any typo :)

<apex:outputText value=" to " rendered="{!IF(ISNULL(Account.To__c) , false , true)}"/>

<apex:outputText value=" to " rendered="{!IF(Account.To__c != null , true , false)}"/>

<apex:outputText value=" to " rendered="{!IF(ISBLANK(Account.To__c) , false , true)}"/>

Thanks

Use it like this

<apex:outputText value=" to " renrendered="{!IF(ISNULL(Account.To__c) , false , true)}"/>
It will work for you for date also.
