CSS selector attr *= support in IE8

Question

I noticed selectivizr does not support [attr*=] using jQuery.

Any ideas on how I could support the following selector in ie8?

a:not([class*="st-"])

Apprently, selectivizr says a library like MooTools would support it, but obviously i'm not switching libraries. Maybe I'll have to do it with pure js... — Jack Zerby, May 17 '13 at 14:02

Quote from w3schools:

Note: IE8 and earlier do not support the :not selector.

I believe that's the only bit that doesn't work in IE8.

The [attribute*=value] selector is supported in all major browsers.

Note: For this selector to work in IE8 and earlier, a <!DOCTYPE> must be declared.

So if you have Selectivizr to fix the :not() part, I don't see why it shouldn't work.

Right, but selectivizr will help with :not – Jack Zerby May 17 '13 at 13:59

This isn't an answer, it's a comment. Also http://caniuse.com is a much better resource for browser support. – James Donnelly May 17 '13 at 14:00
@JamesDonnelly I felt like it was the only real valid answer. Only other thing he could have done is show *how* to get Selectivizr to fix the `:not()` part. – VoidKing May 17 '13 at 14:11
