Bootstrap 3 Carousel Not Working

My carousel from Bootstrap won't display my images or react to the controls.

This is my HTML:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Skates R Us</title>
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap.min.css">
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/global.css">
    </head>

    <body>
        <div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">
            <div class="container">
                <div class="navbar-header">
                    <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
                        <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
                        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                    </button>
                    <a href="#" class="navbar-brand">
                        Skates R Us
                    </a>
                </div>
                <div class="collapse navbar-collapse">
                    <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
                        <li class="active">
                            <a href="index.html">Home</a>
                        </li>

                        </li>
                        <li>
                            <a href="new.html">New Products</a>
                        </li>
                        <li>
                            <a href="media.html">Media</a>
                        </li>

                </div>
            </div>
        </div>

        <div id="carousel" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">
            <ol class="carousel-indicators">
                <li data-target="carousel" data-slide-to="0"></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">
                    <img src="img/slide_1.png" alt="Slide 1">
                </div>
                <div class="item">
                    <img src="img/slide_2.png" alt="Slide 2">
                </div>
                <div class="item">

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

        <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
        <script>
            $("#carousel").carousel();
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

My CSS:

#carousel {

    margin-top: 50px;

}

.carousel {
    height: 500px;
    margin-bottom: 60px;
}
/* Since positioning the image, we need to help out the caption */
.carousel-caption {
    z-index: 10;
}

/* Declare heights because of positioning of img element */
.carousel .item {
    width: 100%;
    height: 500px;
    background-color: #777;
}
.carousel-inner > .item > img {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    min-width: 100%;
    height: 500px;
}

@media (min-width: 768px) {
    .carousel-caption p {
            margin-bottom: 20px;
            font-size: 21px;
            line-height: 1.4;
    }
}

img {
    background: red;
}

There are no errors in the Chrome console and the code is pretty much the exact same as that from the Bootstrap examples.

This is what the site looks like on my end: Site

Does bootstrap 3 have Carousel?

Add scrolling images or text to your website with the Bootstrap carousel component. The Bootstrap carousel component enables you to add scrolling images and text that slide in, pause, then slide out. Controls enable the user to scroll forwards or backwards within the set.

How does bootstrap carousel work?

The carousel is a slideshow for cycling through a series of content, built with CSS 3D transforms and a bit of JavaScript. It works with a series of images, text, or custom markup. It also includes support for previous/next controls and indicators.

Are nested carousel supported?

Please be aware that nested carousels are not supported, and carousels are generally not compliant with accessibility standards.

What size should bootstrap carousel images be?

I read on the web that the images for the web, in the bootstrap carousel (or any slideshow) should be no longer than 960 px width.

There are just two minor things here.

The first is in the following carousel indicator list items:

<li data-target="carousel" data-slide-to="0"></li>

You need to pass the data-target attribute a selector which means the ID must be prefixed with #. So change them to the following:

<li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="0"></li>

Secondly, you need to give the carousel a starting point so both the carousel indicator items and the carousel inner items must have one active class. Like this:

<ol class="carousel-indicators">
    <li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
    <!-- Other Items -->
</ol>
<div class="carousel-inner">
    <div class="item active">
        <img src="https://picsum.photos/1500/600?image=1" alt="Slide 1" />
    </div>
    <!-- Other Items -->
</div>

Here is the changes you need to be done

just replace the carousel div with the below code

You have missed the '#' for data-target and add active class for the first item

<div id="carousel" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">
            <ol class="carousel-indicators">
                <li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="0"></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/slide_1.png" alt="Slide 1">
                </div>
                <div class="item">
                    <img src="img/slide_2.png" alt="Slide 2">
                </div>
                <div class="item">
                    <img src="img/slide_3.png" alt="Slide 3">
                </div>
            </div>
            <a href="#carousel" class="left carousel-control" data-slide="prev">
                <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left"></span>
            </a>
            <a href="#carousel" class="right carousel-control" data-slide="next">
                <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span>
            </a>
        </div>

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

For your reference:

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.
