Answer 1

You could do

$('[data-myAttr!=""]');  

this selects all elements which have an attribute data-myAttr which is not equal to '' (so it must have been set); (only for elements that have their data attribute set in HTML not via jQuery)

you could also use filter() (which works for data attributes set from jQuery)

$('*').filter(function() {     return $(this).data('myAttr') !== undefined; }); 

Answer 2

The best and simple way to select them is:

$('[data-myAttr]') 

More Information:

I tested a lot of things.

Using $('[data-myAttr!=""]') doesn't work for all cases. Because elements that do not have a data-myAttr set, will have their data-myAttr equal to undefined and $('[data-myAttr!=""]') will select those as well, which is incorrect.
