Find a selector starting with a letter

I'd like to find a CSS selector or selectors starting with a given letter. Is this possible?

.myClass[id^=' ... ']

(... represents any letter)

There is no pre-defined css selector for this. You can use the filter method:

$('.myClass[id]').filter(function() {
    return /[A-Za-z]/.test(this.id[0]);
});

You can also define a pseudo-selector:

jQuery.extend(jQuery.expr[':'], { 
    youNameIt: function(a) { 
        return /[A-Za-z]/.test(a.id[0]);
    }    
}); 

$('.myClass:youNameIt');
