It is finding the first one, and spitting out a representation of it,
like

#<Class1:0x42924a68 @attributes={…

the < is confusing the HTML parser - but you don’t want that anyway.
You want to display something about that first record, like:

<%= Class1.find(:first).name %>

or perhaps

<% first = Class1.find(:first) %>

<%= first.name %>
<%= first.attribute1 %>
<%= first.attribute2 %>

etc.

time now. and u gave me a fast and exact answer to my problem, THANKS!!
