Select all elements that don't start with a certain id

Is there a way to get all the elements that don't start with the id foo in JavaScript?

I tried the following:

var elements = document.querySelectorAll('[id!=foo]');

That doesn't work.

Basically I want the opposite of:

var elements = document.querySelectorAll('[id^=foo]');

Use the :not() selector:

document.querySelectorAll(":not([id^='foo'])");

You can use the :not pseudo selector to match everything except [id^="foo"]:

var elements = document.querySelectorAll(':not([id^=foo])');

Just select all and then filter out the one with the id

document.querySelectorAll("*").filter(...)
