No, it'd be
<a href="somepage.asp"><img src="/images/somepage.gif"
longdesc="/descriptions/somepage.htm" alt="menu item"></a>

where somepage.htm contains
<body>
<p>
Extended description of somepage.gif
</p>
</body>

If you want an example, take a look at my site:
http://www.easyweb.co.uk/

See the Bobby A link on the Right Hand Side?
It's longdesc is
http://www.easyweb.co.uk/descriptions/bobby_approvedA.htm
(nb the only reason for this page not being AAA is the repeated [d] link)

Or take a look at the office pic, which is longdesc'd to
http://www.easyweb.co.uk/descriptions/office.htm
(that longdesc has an easter egg in it btw)

Cheers
Martin
