Can the Twitter Bootstrap Carousel plugin fade in and out on slide transition

Question

I have a very basic implementation of the Twitter Bootstrap Carousel plugin on a site that I am working on  http   furnitureroadshow com     I was just wondering if anyone had extended the Carousel plugin so that it fades in and fades out on slide transition   I found this issue  2050 on github com  https   github com twitter bootstrap issues 2050  that seems to suggest that at this point  it isn t possible   Just wanted to see if it could be or has been done

If you are using Bootstrap 3 3 x then use this code  you need to add class name carousel-fade to your carousel     carousel-fade  carousel-inner  item     -webkit-transition-property  opacity            transition-property  opacity     carousel-fade  carousel-inner  item   carousel-fade  carousel-inner  active left   carousel-fade  carousel-inner  active right     opacity  0     carousel-fade  carousel-inner  active   carousel-fade  carousel-inner  next left   carousel-fade  carousel-inner  prev right     opacity  1     carousel-fade  carousel-inner  next   carousel-fade  carousel-inner  prev   carousel-fade  carousel-inner  active left   carousel-fade  carousel-inner  active right     left  0    -webkit-transform  translate3d 0  0  0             transform  translate3d 0  0  0      carousel-fade  carousel-control     z-index  2

Yes  Bootstrap uses CSS transitions so it can be done easily without any Javascript   The CSS    carousel  item  -webkit-transition  opacity 3s  -moz-transition  opacity 3s  -ms-transition  opacity 3s  -o-transition  opacity 3s  transition  opacity 3s    carousel  active left  left 0 opacity 0 z-index 2    carousel  next  left 0 opacity 1 z-index 1     I noticed however that the transition end event was firing prematurely with the default interval of 5s and a fade transition of 3s  Bumping the carousel interval to 8s provides a nice effect   Very smooth

Came across this issue when using Bootstrap 3  My solution was to add the carousel-fade class to the carousel main DIV and slot the following CSS in  somewhere after the Bootstrap CSS is included    carousel-fade  item     opacity  0    -webkit-transition  opacity 2s ease-in-out    -moz-transition  opacity 2s ease-in-out    -ms-transition  opacity 2s ease-in-out    -o-transition  opacity 2s ease-in-out    transition  opacity 2s ease-in-out    left  0  important      carousel-fade  active     opacity  1  important      carousel-fade  left     opacity  0  important    -webkit-transition  opacity 0 5s ease-in-out  important    -moz-transition  opacity 0 5s ease-in-out  important    -ms-transition  opacity 0 5s ease-in-out  important    -o-transition  opacity 0 5s ease-in-out  important    transition  opacity 0 5s ease-in-out  important      carousel-fade  carousel-control     opacity  1  important      The style transitions that Bootstrap applies mean that you have to have the mid-stride transitions  active left  next left  quickly  otherwise the item just ends up disappearing  hence the 1 2 second transition time    I haven t experimented with adjusting the  item and  left transition times  but they will probably need adjusting proportionally to keep the effect looking nice

Yes  Although I use the following code    carousel fade       opacity  1        item               -moz-transition  opacity ease-in-out  7s          -o-transition  opacity ease-in-out  7s          -webkit-transition  opacity ease-in-out  7s          transition  opacity ease-in-out  7s          left  0  important          opacity  0          top 0          position absolute          width  100           display block  important          z-index 1           amp  first-child              top auto              position relative                      amp  active                       opacity  1              -moz-transition  opacity ease-in-out  7s              -o-transition  opacity ease-in-out  7s              -webkit-transition  opacity ease-in-out  7s              transition  opacity ease-in-out  7s              z-index 2                      Then change the class on the carousel from  carousel slide  to  carousel fade    This works in safari  chrome  firefox  and IE 10   It will correctly downgrade in IE 9   however  the nice face effect doesn t happen   Edit  Since this answer has gotten so popular I ve added the following which rewritten as pure CSS instead of the above which was LESS    carousel fade     opacity  1     carousel fade  item     -moz-transition  opacity ease-in-out  7s    -o-transition  opacity ease-in-out  7s    -webkit-transition  opacity ease-in-out  7s    transition  opacity ease-in-out  7s    left  0  important    opacity  0    top 0    position absolute    width  100     display block  important    z-index 1     carousel fade  item first-child     top auto    position relative     carousel fade  item active     opacity  1    -moz-transition  opacity ease-in-out  7s    -o-transition  opacity ease-in-out  7s    -webkit-transition  opacity ease-in-out  7s    transition  opacity ease-in-out  7s    z-index 2
