bootstrap carousel collapse!

I am trying to set up a bootstrap carousel using the "one-click" method from the "insert" menu. I have had success with this previously.

The carousel begins normally with the first image loading but when it comes time for the second image to slide in, the window (image area) collapses - full width but no height! The slide advance mechanism seems to have stopped too.

Can anyone explain what is wrong and how to fix it? Thanks.

This is most likely caused by one or more code errors.  Without a link, it's impossible to be more specific.

In the meantime, the code below works.  Compare it with what you have.
