CSS External Link exceptions

HTML & CSS
1

I currently have an external link icon put after each link created. I do not want an external link icon on Google links

/* CSS Code */

a[href^=“http:”]
{
display:inline-block;
padding-right:14px;
background:transparent url(="extlink.gif) no-repeat 100% 0;
padding: 0 20px 0 0
}

a[href^=“http:”] :hover:after { content: " > " attr (title);

a[href*=“google”]{
background-image:none;
}
a[href*=“google”] :hover:after { content: " "; }

I have also tried

a[href*=“http://google”]{

this doesn’t work either.

Anyone have any ideas?

Something like this works for me:
