I think this would be possible, but you would need to write a custom
selector expression. You can refer to this link:
http://www.malsup.com/jquery/expr/.
You might be able to get away with something like this.
jQuery.extend(jQuery.expr[':'], {
startsWithDiv1: function(a){
//a = DOM element being tested
if($(a).attr('id').indexOf('div1') != 0) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
Then you could use the selector like this $(":startsWithDiv1").
The above code will test to see if the id attribute contains 'div1',
but you can use a regular expression in place of the indexOf. If the
function returns true, then the element is selected, if false, the
element is not selected. I've never actually created my own custom
selector, so maybe someone else can chime in too.
