According to Bootstrap's documentation, I should be able to target a specific slide in a carousel and go to that slide with the data-slide-to attribute. I've fixed up a quick example here: https://codepen.io/alemieux/pen/mqzVML
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal" data-slide-to="0">
Go to First Slide
</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal" data-slide-to="1">
Go to Second Slide
</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal" data-slide-to="2">
Go to Third Slide
</button>
<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal fade" id="exampleModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="exampleModal" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
<div class="modal-body">
<!-- Carousel with controls -->
<div id="carouselExampleControls" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">
<div class="carousel-inner">
<div class="carousel-item active">
<h1>This is the first slide</h1>
<p>The content of slide 1</p>
</div>
<div class="carousel-item">
<h1>This is the Second slide</h1>
<p>The content of slide 2</p>
</div>
<div class="carousel-item">
<h1>This is the Third slide</h1>
<p>The content of slide 3</p>
</div>
<a class="carousel-control-prev" href="#carouselExampleControls" role="button" data-slide="prev">
<span class="carousel-control-prev-icon" aria-hidden="true"><i class="fa fa-chevron-left" aria-hidden="true"></i></span>
</a>
<a class="carousel-control-next" href="#carouselExampleControls" role="button" data-slide="next">
<span class="carousel-control-next-icon" aria-hidden="true"><i class="fa fa-chevron-right" aria-hidden="true"></i></span>
</a>
</div>
</div>
<!-- End Carousel -->
</div>
<button type="bottom" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
But it's not working. The carousel is inside a modal and I'm wondering if that's the issue.
