I'm trying to add slides to Bootstrap carousel using jQuery but it is not acting as a slider in the browser. Instead it's showing the images in list view.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="Assets/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"> </script>
<script src="Assets/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<title></title>
<script>
onload=function(){
for(var m=3;m>=0;m--)
{
var path="file_uploads/"+m+".jpg";
$(".carousel-indicators").after("<li data-target='#carousel-example-generic' data-slide-to=\""+m+"\"></li>");
$(".carousel-inner").after("<div class='item'><img src='"+path+"' alt='"+m+"'></div>");
}
$(".carousel-indicators li:first").addClass("active");
$(".carousel-inner .item:first").addClass("active");
$('.carousel').carousel();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="carousel-example-generic" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">
<!-- Indicators -->
<ol class="carousel-indicators">
</ol>
<!-- Wrapper for slides -->
<div class="carousel-inner">
</div>
<!-- Controls -->
<a class="left carousel-control" href="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide="prev">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left"></span>
</a>
<a class="right carousel-control" href="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide="next">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span>
</a>
</div>
</body>
</html>
First thing, I will rely on the fact that m is an array with proper url to your images.
The HTML should be like this:
Class carousel inner is empty, there is where you gonna place your images for then carousel.
Class carousel-indicatiors is also empty, will be filled by JS.
Then, comes the JS: (as I said, Im relying on the fact that m is an array of imgs url)
Basically, you append all your images to class carousel-inner, you add carousel control li's, then you add the active class to the first image and to the first carousel indicator li., and finally, you initialize your carousel. Note that all this is inside a document ready function, which is what you are missing. What you do is only define a function called onload
Hope it helps !
EDIT: I saw that you are outputting also alt tag to images, but thats something that not need to be on my answer, I bet you can do that without problems.
Well, Bootstrap Carousel has various parameters to control.
i.e.
Interval: Specifies the delay (in milliseconds) between each slide.
pause: Pauses the carousel from going through the next slide when the mouse pointer enters the carousel, and resumes the sliding when the mouse pointer leaves the carousel.
wrap: Specifies whether the carousel should go through all slides continuously, or stop at the last slide

Hope this will help you :)
Note: this is for the further help.. I mean how can you customise or change default behaviour once carousel is loaded.
