title: bootstrap carousel with mobile size
body: <p>am trying to add a carousel to this page, so when it is viewed on a mobile device the carousel adjusts, currently it squeezes down to size and is un viewable (sorry its probably simply, but this is my first rodeo with bootstrap!)</p>
  
  <p>html:</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;!-- Carousel
  ================================================== --&gt;
  &lt;div id="myCarousel" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel"&gt;
    &lt;!-- Indicators --&gt;
    &lt;ol class="carousel-indicators"&gt;
      &lt;li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="0" class="active"&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="1"&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="2"&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ol&gt;
    &lt;div class="carousel-inner" role="listbox"&gt;
      &lt;div class="item active"&gt;
        &lt;img class="first-slide" src="imgs/facebook%20page.jpg" alt="First slide"&gt;
        &lt;div class="container"&gt;
          &lt;!--&lt;div class="carousel-caption"&gt;
            &lt;h1&gt;Example headline.&lt;/h1&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;Note: If you're viewing this page via a &lt;code&gt;file://&lt;/code&gt; URL, the "next" and "previous" Glyphicon buttons on the left and right might not load/display properly due to web browser security rules.&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" href="#" role="button"&gt;Sign up today&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;--&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;div class="item"&gt;
        &lt;img class="second-slide" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAHd3dwAAACH5BAAAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" alt="Second slide"&gt;
        &lt;div class="container"&gt;
          &lt;div class="carousel-caption"&gt;
            &lt;h1&gt;Another example headline.&lt;/h1&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;Cras justo odio, dapibus ac facilisis in, egestas eget quam. Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus. Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula ut id elit.&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" href="#" role="button"&gt;Learn more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;div class="item"&gt;
        &lt;img class="third-slide" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAHd3dwAAACH5BAAAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" alt="Third slide"&gt;
        &lt;div class="container"&gt;
          &lt;div class="carousel-caption"&gt;
            &lt;h1&gt;One more for good measure.&lt;/h1&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;Cras justo odio, dapibus ac facilisis in, egestas eget quam. Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus. Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula ut id elit.&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" href="#" role="button"&gt;Browse gallery&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;a class="left carousel-control" href="#myCarousel" role="button" data-slide="prev"&gt;
      &lt;span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
      &lt;span class="sr-only"&gt;Previous&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;a class="right carousel-control" href="#myCarousel" role="button" data-slide="next"&gt;
      &lt;span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
      &lt;span class="sr-only"&gt;Next&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;/a&gt;
