## attributeNotEqual selector

Description: Select elements that either don't have the specified attribute, or do have the specified attribute but not with a certain value.

- #### version added: 1.0jQuery( "[attribute!='value']" )

  attribute: An attribute name.

  value: An attribute value. Can be either a valid identifier or a quoted string.

This selector is equivalent to `:not([attr='value'])`.

### Additional Notes:

- Because `[name!="value"]` is a jQuery extension and not part of the CSS specification, queries using `[name!="value"]` cannot take advantage of the performance boost provided by the native DOM `querySelectorAll()` method. For better performance in modern browsers, use `$( "your-pure-css-selector" ).not( "[name='value']" )` instead.

## Example:

Finds all inputs that don't have the name 'newsletter' and appends text to the span next to it.
