Per Richard's comment, if you know the tag names of the elements that
will match the class (like div, p), you can do the following:
$("div,p").filter(function(){
var classes = $(this).attr("className").split(" ");
var found = false;
for (var i = 0; i < classes.length; i++){
if ( classes[i].substr(0,4) == "rate" ){
found = true;
break;
}
}
return found;
});
This creates an array of all the classes on each matched element and
loops over them, testing if the first four characters are "rate", and
removing the elements that fail the test from the wrapped set. It
wouldn't be hard to create a more generic jQuery plugin from this,
maybe one that accepts a parameter for the string to test.
Anyone, feel free to correct my code if there is an error.
