Solution to Chapter 7 Exercises of Learning jQuery 3rd Edition

My solutions to Learning jQuery 3rd Edition Chapter 7 exercises: 

1. Increase the cycle transition duration to half a second, and change the animation such that each slide fades out before the next one fades in. Refer to the Cycle documentation to find the appropriate option to enable this.

jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
    $('#books').cycle({
        timeout: 500,
        speed: 200,
        pause: true,
        //------------------
        fx: 'fade',
        //------------------
        before: function () {
            $('#slider').slider('value', $('#books li').index(this));
        }
    });
});


2. Set the cyclePaused cookie to persist for 30 days.

jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
    $('<button>Pause</button>').click(function () {
        $('#books').cycle('pause');
        //-----------------------------------------------
        $.cookie('cyclePaused', 'y', { expires: 30 });
        //-----------------------------------------------
        return false;
    }).button({
        icons: { primary: 'ui-icon-pause' }
    }).appendTo('#books-controls');
});


3. Constrain the title box to resize only in ten pixel increments.

jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
    $('#books .title').resizable({
        handles: 's',
        //--------------------
        distance: 10
        //--------------------
    });
});


4. Make the slider animate smoothly from one position to the next as the slideshow advances.

jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
    $('<div id="slider"></div>').slider({
        min: 0,
        max: $('#books li').length - 1,
        slide: function (event, ui) {
            $('#books').cycle(ui.value);
        },
        //-------------------
        animate: true
        //-------------------
    }).appendTo('#books-controls');
});


5. Instead of letting the slideshow loop forever, cause it to stop after the last slide is shown. Disable the buttons and slider when this happens.

jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
    $('#books').cycle({
        timeout: 500,
        speed: 200,
        pause: true,
        fx: 'fade',
        //---------------
        nowrap: true,
        //---------------
        before: function () {
            $('#slider').slider('value', $('#books li').index(this));
        }
    });
});
