Solution 1:

You have to put your controls into an input-group:

<form name="someForm" method="post" action="/someAction.do"class="form-inline">
<divclass="input-group"><divclass="form-group"><div><labelfor="startDate" >                
                From                
            </label><inputtype="text"name="startDate"value=""readonly="readonly"id="startDate"style="width: 70px;"class="datepicker form-control"></div></div><divclass="form-group"><div><labelfor="endDate">               
                To              
            </label><inputtype="text"name="endDate"value=""readonly="readonly"id="endDate"style="width: 70px;"class="datepicker form-control"></div></div></div></form>

EDIT:

Or you can try using grids:

<form><divclass="container"><divclass="row"><divclass="col-xs-1"><labelfor="startDate">from</lable></div><divclass="col-xs-3"><inputtype="text"name="startDate"value=""readonly="readonly"id="startDate"class="datepicker form-control"></div><divclass="col-xs-1"><labelfor="endDate">to</lable></div><divclass="col-xs-3"><inputtype="text"name="endDate"value=""readonly="readonly"id="startDate"class="datepicker form-control"></div></div></div></form>

Solution 2:

You can do this on the HTML

 <form name="someForm" method="post" action="/someAction.do"class="form-inline">

<divclass="form-group"><labelfor="startDate" >                
            From                
        </label><inputtype="text"name="startDate"value=""readonly="readonly"id="startDate"style="width: 70px;"class="datepicker form-control"/></div><divclass="form-group"><labelfor="endDate">               
            To              
        </label><inputtype="text"name="endDate"value=""readonly="readonly"id="endDate"style="width: 70px;"class="datepicker form-control"/></div>

and do this on the CSS

 .form-group{
float:Left;
}

Solution 3:

For Bootstrap3 you can do something like this

<form name="someForm" method="post" action="/someAction.do"class="form-horizontal">
  <divclass="form-group"><divclass="col-xs-20"><divcass="form-inline"><labelfor="startDate"class="col-xs-2 control-label">From</label><divclass="col-xs-2"><inputtype="text"name="startDate"value=""readonly="readonly"id="startDate"style="width: 70px;"class="form-control"placeholder="From"></div></div></div></div><divclass="form-group"><divclass="col-xs-20"><divclass="form-inline"><labelfor="endDate"class="col-xs-2 control-label">To</label><divclass="col-xs-2"><inputtype="text"name="endDate"value=""readonly="readonly"id="endDate"style="width: 70px;"class="form-control"placeholder="To"></div></div></div></div></form>
