Bootstrap 3 Carousel won't work. (Yes, I have jQuery loaded before Bootstrap)

I'm converting an application to Bootstrap 3. Here's the code to my sample carousel page, in its entirety. Yes, I have jQuery loaded before the Bootstrap.js gets loaded. For whatever reason, the carousel simply will not work. Specifically: the previous/next buttons don't work and the carousel doesn't automatically slide to the next slide.

Tested against:

...on Mac OS X 10.8.4

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">

<head>

    <script>
        // Added this just so I didn't have to wait 5 seconds to see if the transition worked. //
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $('#Carousel').carousel({
                interval:   1000
            });
        });
    </script>
</head>

<body>
    <div id="Carousel" class="carousel slide">
        <ol class="carousel-indicators">
            <li data-target="Carousel" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
            <li data-target="Carousel" data-slide-to="1"></li>
            <li data-target="Carousel" data-slide-to="2"></li>
        </ol>

        <div class="carousel-inner">
            <div class="item active">
                <img src="img/Carousel/001.jpg">
            </div>
        </div>

        <div class="carousel-inner">
            <div class="item">
                <img src="img/Carousel/002.jpg">
            </div>
        </div>

        <div class="carousel-inner">
            <div class="item">
                <img src="img/Carousel/003.jpg">
            </div>
        </div>

        <a class="left carousel-control" href="#Carousel" data-slide="prev">
            <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left"></span>
        </a>
        <a class="right carousel-control" href="#Carousel" data-slide="next">
            <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span>
        </a>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Anyone have an insight on why this is not working?

This is to help someone who was stuck like me despite writing all the code correctly. I was trying to find a error in the code but everything was fine. Then I checked my javascript files and noticed that somehow their type changed to .js.txt . So I just changed it to .js and it worked.

Happy coding !

For the slider to work you must include:

<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

at the bottom of your document(before body closing tag)

There's another mistake in this code which is that the carousel indicators aren't clickable. They should be links that take you to the appropriate panel.

You need to add a hashtag to the data target:

<li data-target="#Carousel" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
<li data-target="#Carousel" data-slide-to="1"></li>
<li data-target="#Carousel" data-slide-to="2"></li>

Try one carousel-inner with multiple items inside..

<div id="Carousel" class="carousel slide">
        <ol class="carousel-indicators">
            <li data-target="Carousel" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
            <li data-target="Carousel" data-slide-to="1"></li>
            <li data-target="Carousel" data-slide-to="2"></li>
        </ol>

        <div class="carousel-inner">
            <div class="item active">
                <img src="img/Carousel/001.jpg">
            </div>
            <div class="item">
                <img src="img/Carousel/002.jpg">
            </div>
            <div class="item">
                <img src="img/Carousel/003.jpg">
            </div>
        </div>

        <a class="left carousel-control" href="#Carousel" data-slide="prev">
            <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left"></span>
        </a>
        <a class="right carousel-control" href="#Carousel" data-slide="next">
            <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span>
        </a>
    </div>
