Hi Richard

That was an unexpected problem. On the other hand that is what the 
assertion is there for ;-)

Let us see if we can find out why it fails. Can you evaluate each of 
these lines and tell me the answer:

  (html-site-dir-contains "c:/temp" "c:/temp/in/hej.html")
  (html-site-looks-like-local-url "c:/temp/in/hej.html")
  (html-site-looks-like-local-url "c:/temp")
  (file-truename (expand-file-name "c:/temp/in/hej.html"))
  (file-name-as-directory (file-truename (expand-file-name "c:/temp/")))

To do that you can put them in the *scratch* buffer, put point after 
each line and do `C-x C-e'.
