After the user searches and is presented with a list of results - which is
the better tool for clicking to get a "details" page...?

If it is the DataGrid, how do I recoginize selection? (Doesn't highlight
when clicked)

If it is the DataList, I'm having problems with the same record repeating
over and over again... instead of showing all the different records...

Hi Jonefer,

The datagrid has 2 properties:
1-    SelectedIndex:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemwebuiwebcontrolsdatagridclassselectedindextopic.asp

2-    SelectedItemStyle:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemwebuiwebcontrolsdatagridclassselecteditemstyletopic.asp
And an event named SelectedIndexChanged: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemwebuiwebcontrolsbasedatalistclassselectedindexchangedtopic.asp

If you use any combinations of those members you can select a row on datagrid.

You can also do that using Javascript on the client as in this demo:

The datalist too has similar properties and events as the datagrid.  I have
a sample using the datalist selectedIndex to highlight the select row:
