hi to everyone .i am using rails 2.1.0 for my current project.in the  
console mode i tried to excute the statement in console mode

User.find(:first,:select=\>”name as text,id as value”).to\_json

=\> “{\”user\”: {\”text\”: \”thillai\”, \”value\”: \”1\”}}”

in rails 2.1.0 its giving the model name user also

but in rails 2.0.2 the results are coming as

{\”text\”: \”thillai\”, \”value\”: \”1\”}

as per my requirement i want results to be

{\”text\”: \”thillai\”, \”value\”: \”1\”}.

Is there any solution for this problem

I would have thought that some\_user.attributes.to\_json would always  
give you the second form.
