This might (indirectly) do what you're trying to do: http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors/attributeContains#attributevalue but that searches IN strings (not anchored to the beginning) and its behaviour in the face of attributes with multiple values (e.g. class) is not documented, so you'd need to try it to find out if it's suitable for what you're doing. There is also: http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors/attributeStartsWith#attributevalue but its behaviour regarding space-separated values is also not documented, so you'd need to try it out. If all else fails, you could certainly use the filter() function to implement this. Or maybe even a custom selector?
