How to properly end a javascript statement?

How much JavaScript do front-end designers use in their positions?

• I'm basically trying to understand how much JavaScript a front end designer needs to know. Are they writing complicated JavaScript stuff, or is it mostly used to alter CSS?  Anything else besides HTML and CSS and JavaScript?

• Answer:

  I'd expect this to vary a great deal depending on the team and the projects they're working on. See At one end of the scale, a big team will have clearly delineated front-end engineers who write all of the JavaScript and CSS, working alongside designers who only ever use Photoshop and Illustrator and the like. Certainly a big and complicated application (Facebook, for instance) needs specialist developers to handle the large amounts of JS, and may have yet more people writing style sheets. At the other end, I can think of many startups and small web-design shops where there's only one person to handle all of the visual / front-end tasks. Or in other words: the work of design (artwork, type, generating mockups) is quite distinct from the work of coding (and CSS and JavaScript don't always overlap). So in some teams those jobs are separated into different people, but in smaller teams one person might be expected to do both. If your title is "designer" rather than "engineer", it probably suggests you're somewhere closer to the first end of that scale, and wouldn't be writing that much code. Then again, some people use the term pretty loosely -- and my advice has always been that knowing more JavaScript is better than knowing less :-)
