Does a web designer need to know JQuery?
It is not necessary , but good to have this weapon in your web design arsenal if you want to make your web pages full of life.
In fact, jQuery was built in such a way that it is very easy for developers to get started with it. For example, check out his machensim selector, it is very similar to the CSS selector that designers are always used to.
For example, Chris Coyier is a famous web designer and has the guesses that he knows jQuery and creates stunning live pages.
Finally, take a look at this great resource:

Most of the people I know with the job title "Web Designer" (as opposed to "Web Developer") are only concerned with the design, not the technical implementation details.
So, for them to work, it's important to know what jQuery can do (i.e., nothing they shouldn't know, perhaps from a broader understanding of what JavaScript can do), but not how to use it.
More knowledge is always good, but a designer would probably be better off learning more about subjects like usability, accessibility, information architecture, color theory, etc.)

My personal opinion is that a web designer shouldn't expect how to program in jQuery. However, I think they should:
-
Have a good understanding of what jQuery is, what it's useful for, and how you can use it to improve your site. It also means understanding what is not easy to do with jQuery. Be aware of opportunities and limitations.
-
They should be able to integrate and build out-of-the-box plugins that don't require much more than the following basic instructions.
-
A good developer needs to keep up with how jQuery is being used "out there" on the Internet, allowing them to see how it can improve interfaces and solve common problems. Like everything in the fast-growing world of the web, you need to stay on top of trends and also be able to distinguish between fads and genuine innovation.

First, some traditional analogies:
Should a racer find out how a race car engine works?
Does she need to know how to fix and configure it?
Should she know how to improve the engine and design a new part for it?
Answers:
No. Not necessary.
Did it help in certain situations:
- increase productivity,
- make a html and css cleaner,
- make better decisions in the field of visual design,
- make better interaction design decisions,
- better understand what can be designed (improve creativity)
Yes. Yes, finally.

No. I don't think this is part of the design if you know its additional knowledge that you have and it also helps you in a different way. But I think javascript and javascript libraries are not Web Designer's cup of tea. I think you should focus on CSS, HTML and FLASH if possible.

If you are trying to get by with the computer industry by studying as little as possible, I think you are in the mood for career suicide.
Considering two web designers with roughly equal design ability, who would you choose for your project? Someone who has knowledge of Javascript or someone who doesn't?

If the web designer is a programmer or wants to be alone, yes. But if not, he / she should not learn this by sharing the problems. I wanted to close this question, it seems not programming, but I'm interested in reading others' ideas :-)
But based on Sarfaz provided the link, I think you should study it. It looks like jQuery is like an Excel macro on the web, you need to learn some macros to expand your table (aesthetically-functional and functional), in the same vein, which is the best way to make your site more attractive with jQuery
