Is there a way to make your images within bootstrap's carousel responsive with a fixed height? I've tried everything. I also used img-responsive, and in the CSS I tried everything as well.
Here's my html
<div class="item active">
<img src="images/slide1.jpg" alt="First slide" class="img-responsive">
<div class="container">
<div class="carousel-caption" style="padding-bottom:90px;">
<h1>Totes for all</h1>
<p>Personalize your style</p>
<p><a class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" href="#" role="button">View all</a></p>
</div><!-- /.carousel-caption -->
</div><!-- /.container -->
</div><!-- /.item -->
<div class="item">
<img src="images/slide2.png" alt="Second slide" class="img-responsive">
<div class="container">
<div class="carousel-caption">
<div class="caption_background">
<h1>Pattern it</h1>
<p>Choose your favorite</p>
</div>
<p><a class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" href="#" role="button">View all</a></p>
</div><!-- /.carousel-caption -->
</div><!-- /.container -->
</div><!-- /.item -->
</div><!-- /.carousel-inner -->
<a class="left carousel-control" href="#myCarousel" role="button" data-slide="prev"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left"></span></a>
<a class="right carousel-control" href="#myCarousel" role="button" data-slide="next"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span></a>
</div><!-- /.myCarousel -->
Here's my CSS

First of all, you have to check the facilities provided by Bootstrap, specifically the grid system and the responsive utilities.
Bootstrap 3.2.0 - CSS
Then, to perform a good responsive procedure, width and height should be both resizable, according to the current screen size.
Furthermore, you could find related questions on StackOverflow, just for instance:

Try this jq, it makes your .carousel-inner as window height. but remember to -height your navnbar, footer ect. all other elements/divs heights you have to -.
function init_carousel() {
H = +($(window).height() /* -height here */); // or $('.carousel-inner') as you want ...
$('.carousel-inner').css('height', H + 'px');
}
window.onload = init_carousel;
init_carousel();

I know this is a little late to the party but I recently had this issue and overcame it by giving each item its own ID and then setting the images to the elements as background images in CSS...
<div id="header-carousel" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">
<div class="carousel-inner">
<div id="cazza1" class="item active">
</div>
<div id="cazza2" class="item">
</div>
<div id="cazza3" class="item">
</div>
</div>
</div>
And the CSS:
#header-carousel {
height: 240px;
}#cazza1 {
height: 240px;
background-image: url(/images/header1.jpg);
background-position: center center;
background-size: cover;
}#cazza2 {
height: 240px;
background-image: url(/images/header2.jpg);
background-position: center center;
background-size: cover;
}#cazza3 {
height: 240px;
background-image: url(/images/header3.jpg);
background-position: center center;
background-size: cover;
}
