HTML

<div id="products">

  <div class="ui-widget-content">

            $( this ).find( ".placeholder" ).remove();
            $( "<li></li>" ).text( ui.draggable.text() ).appendTo( this );
        }
    }).sortable({
        items: "li:not(.placeholder)",

Solution

  • You can change your jQuery function to this:

    $(function() {
       $( "#catalog li" ).draggable({
           appendTo: "body",
           helper: "clone"
       });
       $( "#cart ol" ).droppable({
           activeClass: "ui-state-default",
           hoverClass: "ui-state-hover",
           accept: ":not(.ui-sortable-helper)",
           drop: function( event, ui ) {
               $( this ).find( ".placeholder" ).remove();
               $( "<li></li>" ).text( ui.draggable.text() ).appendTo( this );
    
               if($('.ui-droppable li').length > 5) {
                   //bind your carousel here
               }
    
           }
       }).sortable({
           items: "li:not(.placeholder)",
           sort: function() {
               $( this ).removeClass( "ui-state-default" );
           }
       });
    });
