Animate height change on Bootstrap 3 Carousel

Question

On researching the question "How to animate height change on Bootstrap 3 Carousel" I found this answer, however it doesn't have any effects on my bootstrap carousel. I can't comment yet and ask for clarification there, therefore a new Question.

The solution suggested there is

function bsCarouselAnimHeight()
{
$('.carousel').carousel({
    interval: 5000
}).on('slide.bs.carousel', function (e)
{
    var nextH = $(e.relatedTarget).height();
    $(this).find('.active.item').parent().animate({ height: nextH }, 500);
});
}

But as I said, without any effect. Maybe I should modify any selectors in the Javascript in my case?

Update:

I updated the fiddle so it's actually showing the problem.

All ideas are appreciated! Thanks.

Answer 1

Your code is fine. You're just not calling function bsCarouselAnimHeight() anywhere so none of it is firing.

You can either take it out of the function declaration

or call the function at some point.
