In the past I already asked on how to peek into a ::before CSS rules e.g. for example in

1. <div>
2.   <soan> ::before </span>
3. ...
4. </div>

with a CSS deklaration like

1. span::before { content: "foobar"; }

I learned that this is not possible resp. only with difficulties.

Ok, now a simplified scenario:

I don't want to peek into or modify such rules but find simply all <span> elements which have such a ::before clause. Afterwards I want to remove these elements.

Therefore the following does not work

$("div span::before").remove();

Maybe there is another way?

BTW: Is there an official feature request form/ticket system where I can apply a new feature for the next jQuery version to make such rules accessible?

Thanks
