Bootstrap Carousel Next/prev Not Working

I am working with Twitter Bootstrap Carousel and though I am not very familiar with .js, somehow I got things working fine. The only problem is that the next/prev button is workin

Solution 1:

You handle slider's next/prev buttons with your own handler, so it slide to 2nd element 1st, than tries to make next()

replace:

$("#myCarousel a").click(function(e){ 
    var index = $(this).index(); 
    //when hitting NEXT button index always 2, for PREV - 0
    slider.carousel(index); 
    e.preventDefault(); 
}); 

with

$("#myCarousel .slider-pager a").click(function(e){ 
    var index = $(this).index(); 
    slider.carousel(index); 
    e.preventDefault(); 
}); 

in your onpage script

Solution 2:

For future visitors to this question:

Use attribute data-interval="false" (Bootstrap 3.3.5):

<div id="myCarousel"class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel" data-interval="false">

Here are other supported carousel options in Bootstrap 3:
