How to center image in carousel


How to center image in carousel ? I tried bootstrap 3 carousel using code from bootstrap tutorial:

                <a href="/Webconte/Details/124">
                    <img src="/Webconte/Image/124" />
                </a>
            </div>
            <div class="item ">

                <a href="/Webconte/Details/123">
                    <img src="/Webconte/Image/123" />
                </a>
            </div>
            <div class="item ">

                <a href="/Webconte/Details/105">
                    <img src="/Webconte/Image/105" />
                </a>
            </div>
            <div class="item ">

                <a href="/Webconte/Details/95">
                    <img src="/Webconte/Image/95" />
                </a>
            </div>
            <div class="item ">

                <a href="/Webconte/Details/107">
                    <img src="/Webconte/Image/107" />
                </a>
            </div>
            <div class="item ">

                <a href="/Webconte/Details/100">
                    <img src="/Webconte/Image/100" />
                </a>
            </div>
            <div class="item ">

                <a href="/Webconte/Details/98">
                    <img src="/Webconte/Image/98" />
                </a>
            </div>
            <div class="item ">

                <a href="/Webconte/Details/78">
                    <img src="/Webconte/Image/78" />
                </a>
            </div>
            <div class="item ">

                <a href="/Webconte/Details/11">
                    <img src="/Webconte/Image/11" />
                </a>
            </div>

        <!-- Controls -->
        <a class="left carousel-control" href="#carousel-example-generic" role="button" data-slide="prev">
            <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left" aria-hidden="true"></span>
        </a>
        <a class="right carousel-control" href="#carousel-example-generic" role="button" data-slide="next">
            <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right" aria-hidden="true"></span>
        </a>
    </div>

For wide screen, carousel image is left aligned and there is ugly empty space in right of image. How to make carousel nicer ? Is it possible to center images or other solution ?


Solution

  • You've got two options

    1. If you want the image to take up entire carousel then
    img 
    {
       width: 100%;
       height: auto;
    }
    
    1. If you dont want the image to stretch 100 %, then set your desired width(or dont, just specify margin) and margin auto:
    img
    {
       width: 50%;
       margin: auto;
    }
