Here are some:
Joe Clark's serialised book (covers all three - title, alt and longdesc) http://joeclark.org/book/sashay/serialization/Chapter06.html
Writing good ALT text (covers all three - title, alt and longdesc) http://www.gawds.org/show.php?contentid=28
The alt and title attributes (covers alt and title but not longdesc, from memory) http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200412/the_alt_and_title_attributes/
Then there is always Laura's mega resource: http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/support/Training/Online/webdesign/accessibility.ht ml#alt
HTH Russ
Finally, is there a commentary somewhere about the use of longdesc vs alt vs
title (e.g. on images, on images where they are the sole content of links,
etc). There seems to be a bit of information here and there, and obviously I
can use common sense, but was wondering if there was some high-calibre
writing out there, spelling out the different browser support and an overall
conclusion?
