jQuery opposite of "starts with" selector: [^=]

Question

I have some div tag below:

<div class="magazine"></div>
<div class="newsletter"></div> // I need to take this div
<div class="may-moon"></div>

If I needed div with class start with "ma", I would use $('div[class^="ma"]'), but what is opposite? thanks.

Answer 1

The opposite would be to use jQuery :not():

$('div:not([class^="ma"])')

Answer 2

You can use the negative filtering function "not" like this: $('div').not('[class^="ma"]'), or the negative selector ":not" like this: $('div:not([class^="ma"])') (as pointed by Karl-André Gagnon)
