Twitter Bootstrap Carousel auto cycle not working
I've been using twitter bootstrap with no issues, until I started using the carousel plugin. The carousel controls work fine and it transitions smoothly, but it does not auto cycle! I've searched for ages, but cannot find any solutions. If anyone has any idea, please let me know, I would be very grateful.

Answer
You're pointing to the wrong container in your carousel call, it should be the id of your image container and not a class;
JS fixed
$('#headerCarousel').carousel({
interval: 1200
});
