Attribute Not Equal Selector [name!="value"]

Categories: Selectors > Attribute | Selectors > jQuery Extensions

attributeNotEqual selector

Description: Select elements that either don't have the specified attribute, or do have the specified attribute but not with a certain value.

  • version added: 1.0jQuery( "[attribute!='value']" )

    attribute: An attribute name.

    value: An attribute value. Can be either an unquoted single word or a quoted string.

This selector is equivalent to :not([attr="value"]).

Additional Notes:

  • Because [name!="value"] is a jQuery extension and not part of the CSS specification, queries using [name!="value"] cannot take advantage of the performance boost provided by the native DOM querySelectorAll() method. For better performance in modern browsers, use $("your-pure-css-selector").not('[name="value"]') instead.

Example:

Finds all inputs that don't have the name 'newsletter' and appends text to the span next to it.
