How to iterate through a paginated jQuery datatable

I have a datatable where in I have set 100 rows to a page. Anyway, with jQuery -sending request to server etc., I have the data filled, for e.g. say one of the calls brings in 260 rows. Later when I have to perform some checks for each row for e.g. to see if some values have been selected or something like that, I need to iterate. So when I use fnGetNodes() or fnGetData() both seem to get only the first 100 rows of the table that is the 1st page rows. I want to be able to iterate all the 260 rows, because the user may have paged back and forth and made several selections/changes to the data. Any help is appreciated. I am using jQuery 1.4 version of DataTable.

Not ideal, but what we do is to temporarily expand the datatable so that all rows are shown, iterate, then revert back to the original length.

var origLength = dataTable.fnLengthChange();
dataTable.fnLengthChange( dataTable.fnPagingInfo().iTotal );
// Iterate here
dataTable.fnLengthChange( origLength );

Hope there's a more decent solution.
