Twitter Bootstrap Responsive Carousel With Multiple Items

Question

I'm trying to setup Twitter Bootstrap carousel with multiple items while maintaining the responsiveness.

I have a jsfiddle for testing setup http://jsfiddle.net/Va8Un/

What I would like to happen is to display 4 images each with caption to hold item titles and so forth within a carousel pane and they should be resized to fit the screen to stay on the same row at all times. Right now it's completely ignoring any attempts I make to adjust the image size to the screen, I figured setting the img max-width:100%; would do the trick but it doesn't seem to effect it. Moreover, the 4th image is being pushed to a second row because the images aren't resizing:

Any way to fix this with pure CSS or should I look for options beyond Twitter Bootstrap?

Here is the HTML:

<div class="container">
    <div class="carousel slide" id="myCarousel">
        <div class="carousel-inner">
          <div class="item active">
                <ul class="thumbnails span12">
                    <li>
                        <div class="caption">
                            <h5>Caption</h5>
                        </div>
                        <div class="thumbnail">
                            <img src="http://placehold.it/260x180" alt="">
                        </div>
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <div class="caption">
                            <h5>Caption</h5>
                        </div>

You can do this with the bootstrap fluid grid alone, just specify a .container-fluid container along with a .row-fluid row and give each one of your list items housing an image a .span* class, in this case 3 (3*4=12).

.container {
  margin-top: 10px;
}

img
{
  max-width:100%;   
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/2.1.0/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link href="http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/assets/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet" />

<div class="container-fluid">
  <div class="row-fluid">
    <div class="carousel slide" id="myCarousel">
      <div class="carousel-inner">
        <div class="item active">
