Hello group,
I'm wondering which authoring tool would be most flexible and useful for
large websites using only html, css and javascrip.
So far I've tried Dreamweaver MX, but have heard BBEdit is also good. What
do you think?

They do different things. Dreamweaver will allow for WYSIWYG as well as
code editing. BBEdit is a text editor with additional features to do
HTML/CSS/Java/Javascript and many other languages.
I think you'd be better served by forgetting about seeking the "best" of
anything. "That way lies madness" or at least a lot of disappointment
in your life.
I, myself, accept "good enough" and "does the job". If "Mikee likes it"
is also in there, I'm a happy camper.

I agree... the "best" is what ever works best for you... Be it Dreamweaver,
notepad, or Geocities editor (OK, I've crossed the line on that one ;-) ).

I'd go with Notepad though... using PHP-include modules for any function /
information that might be duplicated.
If you put everything in its own named include file then call them from your
..php file in the right order - I find it quite easy to do large-scale
projects in Notepad ;)

HTML editors help with speed when working on large sites. If he used Notepad
he'd be typing more code.
If you have the time, download as many HTML editors as you can that get good
reviews. Tucows has a large selection. Then open the same page from your
site in each & play with editing. Adding images, links, tables, etc.
I've used Coffee Cup's HTML Editor for years. It was more intuitive, for me,
than the rest. But you may find Dreamweaver more intuitive. Or some other
editor.
