Seems crazy that the bootstrap carousel feature’s slide transition does not work in IE.

If you do a google search tons of sites have solutions for this, but some are wrong and others just point you to the fix without any explanation.  I used the solution from Barryvdh here.  I’ve only tested it in IE 8, and apparently for IE 7 you might need to make a change to this code but I didn’t do that.

Here’s what I did to fix the slide transition issue (only tested in IE 8, you’ll want to test others):

• Go to the bootstrap website’s customization page and make sure all the features are selected (that is if you need everything), EXCEPT for the jQuery plugin for Carousel.  Remove that one.
  
  
• Download the customized file and use the bootstrap.min.js file as you normally would on your site.
• Next download the bootstrap-carousel.js file from the bootstrap github site https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/blob/master/js/bootstrap-carousel.js
• Make the changes to the bootstrap-carousel.js file as seen in these commits: https://github.com/Barryvdh/bootstrap/commit/8b294f0c0184eb7111ef6da6046d4d1f33ea7ba3
• Add your updated bootstrap-carousel.js file to your site after you load the bootstrap.min.js
• I did this on 1/30/2013, and here is my updated bootstrap-carousel.js file, keep in mind that this will probably be out of date with the next release of bootstrap, but in any event it might be helpful to see:
