 * I’m trying to change the way the controls show, using background images. But 
   all that ever shows is the glyph < and >. I’ve tried changing the z-index, floating/
   not floating, absolute/relative positioning, and nothing has done the trick. 
   Suggestions?
 *     ```
       .carousel-control.left {
           background: url('../images/slider_left_arrow.png') no-repeat;
           float: left;
       }
   
       .carousel-control.right {
           background: url("../images/slider_right_arrow.png") no-repeat;
           float: right;
       }
       ```

 * Hi Marcelle,
 * Having a quick look at the code I would guess that you need to get to the span
   held within the .carousel-control anchor tags to get rid of the glyphs. For example(
   untested):
 *     ```
       .carousel-control span {
           display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Once hidden, you could then override the CSS styling the .carousel-control as
   you were doing in your question.
 * Beyond that, I’d recommend asking on Stack Overflow or somewhere. This is a Bootstrap
   CSS question and so not directly about the plugin really 🙂
 * Cheers,
 * Phil
