Is there a way with javascript (particularly jQuery) to find an element based on a partial attribute name?
I am not looking for any of the selectors that find partial attribute values as referenced in these links:
- starts with [name^="value"]
- contains prefix [name|="value"]
- contains [name*="value"]
- contains word [name~="value"]
- ends with [name$="value"]
- equals [name="value"]
- not equal [name!="value"]
- starts with [name^="value"]
but more something along the lines of
<div data-api-src="some value"></div>
<div data-api-myattr="foobar"></div>
and
$("[^data-api]").doSomething()
to find any element that has an attribute that starts with "data-api".
