You have an input with two id's try using just one

<input type="date" id="toDate"

Instead of:

<input id="to" type="date" id="toDate"

Use a validator. Some of your elements have multiple id attributes. This is not allowed and is the cause of your problem.

(You probably intended to use a name attribute for the first id attribute in both cases)
