For my website project, I decided to incorporate the Bootstrap carousel into the header using version 3.0.3 of Bootstrap. Everything seemed to be functioning correctly until I noticed a strange issue with the image sizes on the page. Initially, all the images were set at 100%, but now they are displaying at their actual dimensions which is causing some unwanted spacing when the browser window is fully expanded.
I assumed this was the default behavior since the images were not placed in a grid layout. However, even after troubleshooting by creating a new HTML file with fresh Bootstrap code and adding the carousel template from the Bootstrap website, the images still did not stretch to the edges at maximum width.
I have never encountered this problem before with Bootstrap or the carousel feature, so I am puzzled as to what could be causing it. It appeared that the default width for images in the 'bootstrap.css' file was 100%, but perhaps there was a recent change that affected this setting. To workaround the issue, I added 'img width: 100% !important' to the document's header which resolved the sizing problem.
This has led me to wonder if the change occurred during an update to Bootstrap and whether the carousel is designed to automatically resize images to fit the screen width. The provided code snippet shows the structure of the carousel implementation with the images and controls.
