This might be hard to explain, but I need a way to loop through a
bunch of elements I've already selected and for each one find classes
that start with the word "icon". So for example I might have the
following elements

<div class="button iconStar"></div>
<div class="button iconPlus"></div>
<div class="button iconLeft"></div>
<div class="button iconRight"></div>
<div class="button iconUp"></div>
<div class="button iconDown"></div>

So, I begin by selecting the elements and looping through them....

$(".button").each(function(){
    // Some code here
});

Now, I could put the following code in the loop...

if ($(this).hasClass("iconStar")){
    $(this).append("<IMG SRC='Images/star.gif'>");
}

I would then have to repeat that for each possible icon, which seems
very inefficient.

What I'd like to do in the "each" loop is just cycle through all the
classes that $(this) has and pick out the one that begins with ICON
and then use that to append the image.

Can anyone help?
