How to access the data in fnRender?

I am just starting out with the datatable jquery plugin. before I dig deeper I have a question if this is possible:

I have a user list, some users have two phone numbers assigned.

In the data table I want to display a select box if the user has more than one phone number.

Which methods should I check? I understand that you can use fnRender to customize a cell. But how can I access the json data in fnRender? () or is there another way? cheers.

I use mRender which is similar:

'aoColumns': [
            {
              'mData': 1,
              'mRender': function (data, type, row) {
                  var newSelect = '<select><option>' + row[1][0] + '</option><option>' + row[1][1] + '</option>';
              return newSelect;
           },
           ...

This is simplified version, but row is your returned json, in a 2d array to allow for multiple phone numbers. You'd have to build a selectlist control and return the html.
