jQuery selectors on custom data attributes using HTML5

Question

I would like to know what selectors are available for these data attributes that come with HTML5   Taking this piece of HTML as an example    lt ul data-group  Companies  gt     lt li data-company  Microsoft  gt  lt  li gt     lt li data-company  Google  gt  lt  li gt     lt li data-company   Facebook  gt  lt  li gt   lt  ul gt    Are there selectors to get    All elements with data-company  Microsoft  below  Companies  All elements with data-company   Microsoft  below  Companies  In other cases is it possible to use other selectors like  contains  less than  greater than  etc

jQuery UI has a  data   selector which can also be used  It has been around since Version 1 7 0 it seems   You can use it like this   Get all elements with a data-company attribute  var companyElements      ul data group  li data company       Get all elements where data-company equals Microsoft  var microsoft      ul data group  li data company                         filter function                              return   this  data  company       Microsoft                             Get all elements where data-company does not equal Microsoft  var notMicrosoft      ul data group  li data company                            filter function                                 return   this  data  company       Microsoft                                etc     One caveat of the new  data   selector is that you must set the data value by code for it to be selected  This means that for the above to work  defining the data in HTML is not enough  You must first do this      li   first   data  company    Microsoft      This is fine for single page applications where you are likely to use        data  datakey    value   in this or similar ways
