I'm totally new at this, so this question is mostly just to understand. On
the Boostrap page
(http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#carousel) the source
code shows that the javascript files are loaded at the bottom of the page
for page load performance reasons.
For some reason, when I load the javascript at the top, the images
automatically transition based on the timing that I set. As soon as I move
the javascript references to the bottom (see below), all js works except
that the slides no longer transition automatically. Any thoughts as to why
that may be the case?
