jquery selector for attributes that does not begin with a string

Question

Selector starting with [name^="value"] selects elements that have the specified attribute with a value beginning exactly with a given string.

Is there a negative of this like so:

[name!^="value"]

which selects elements that have the specified attribute with a value NOT beginning with a given string.

Perhaps you can use the :not() selector: http://api.jquery.com/not-selector/

$('input').not('[name^="value"]')...;

Here's a jsfiddle using .not(): http://jsfiddle.net/hNhgf/
