Bootstrap carousel width and height

Question

Im trying to do a bootstrap carousel with full width for the images (width: 100%) and a fixed height but if I set the width to 100% the height automacally is taking the 100%

Answer 1

I know this is an older post but Bootstrap is still alive and kicking!

Slightly different to @Eduardo's post, I had to modify:

#myCarousel.carousel.slide {
    width: 100%; 
    max-width: 400px; !important
}

When I only modified .carousel-inner {}, the actual image was fixed size but the left/right controls were displaying incorrectly off to the side of the div.
