your javascript is incorrect. document.getElementById('container')
returns a dom node (element:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/document.getElementById). It does
not have a property called carousel (see
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/element)

However, if you want to clear out the carousel you could do this:

carousel.clear();

then load the carousel as normal.

you can change properties like numVisible with:

carousel.setProperty('numVisible', 4, true);

Please read:
http://billwscott.com/carousel/ as it contains this information.
