Using 'starts with' selector on individual class names

I'd recommend making "apple" its own class. You should avoid the starts-with/ends-with if you can because being able to select using div.apple would be a lot faster. That's the more elegant solution. Don't be afraid to split things out into separate classes if it makes the task simpler/faster.

Classes that start with "apple-" plus classes that contain " apple-"

$("div[class^='apple-'],div[class*=' apple-']")
