this code selects the textareas that don't have a class which begins with "tinymce".

$('input[maxlength],textarea[maxlength]').filter(function() {
    if($(this).attr('class')) {
        return null == $(this).attr('class').match(/\btinymce[a-z0-9_\-]*\b/i);
    }
    return true;
}).each(function() {
    //your part
});

​example: an element with class="another tinymceFOO" is not selected (while the accepted answer would select it).

Does it have to start with tinymce or just contain the class tinymce? 

​$('input,textarea').filter(function(){
    return(!$(this).hasClass('tinymce'));
}).filter(function(){
    return($(this).attr(​​​​​​​​​​​​'maxlength'));
})
