- The image is responsive

- Caption text is vertically and horizontally centered in the image

Problem

The carousel I am referring to is Bootstrap's carousel (http://getbootstrap.com/examples/carousel/). I am using the similar code from the example, but I can't place the contents right middle of the parent. As you can see, the contents are not centered. I've tried setting the carousel-caption{ vertical-align:middle;}, but nothing changes. ``` <div class="carousel-inner"> <div class="item active"> <div class="container"> <div class="carousel-caption"> !!contents!! </div> </div> </div> </div> ``` This is the same code from the example. How can I vertically center the carousel-caption?
