I have just started using RoR and am creating some select boxes on my form with the following code:
<%= select_tag(options_from_collection_for_select(Owner.all, :id, :fname)) %>
My problem is that it does NOT return the first record from the table, but just the second and succeeding records.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the first record included in the select box?
Thanks.

I changed the above code to: "<%= select_tag(collection_select(:book, :owner_id, Owner.all, :id, :full_name)) %>" and now it gets all records as it should.
