Titles in Drop Down

I'm using the drop down menu for my galleries but on two of my galleries the titles don't show when I hover. The same titles are also missing on the gallery index page. I know it is almost certainly an error on my part but I can't figure it out?
I have deleted the templates in the web module and started again but I'm getting the same error.

The fourth and fifth galleries on my index are the affected ones. http://www.daviddalziel.com/galleries.php

Can somebody point out my error?

Thanks,

David.

Re: Titles in Drop Down

for both of those galleries, the autoindex.xml file is the problem. In the Black & White gallery, it appears that the "&" is causing the problem:
http://www.daviddalziel.com/galleries/0 … oindex.xml

I'm not sure if you can use an escape character before "&" but try  using "\&" instead (in Color Palette > Album Title). If that doesn't work, simply use "and"

this gallery: http://www.daviddalziel.com/galleries/06_sweat_&_gears/
is showing the same problem:
http://www.daviddalziel.com/galleries/0 … oindex.xml

Also take the "&" out of the gallery folder name. Files and folders should only contain letters, numbers, underscores, and dashes.
