I'm writting a spider, and I want to know which link is mean "next page",so I need to get the element by the value = "next page", and then get the link. It's not only include one tag, it's a whole html source code, and I want to get the specific link.

if I want to get a element like 

`<a href="http://*****">..</a>`

I can use 

`'a[href^="http"]'`

And I try

`'a[text="value"]'`

Try 'Contains':

from pyquery import PyQuery as pq

doc = pq("<html><body><a href='https://stackoverflow.com'>Next page</a><p>...Next time...</p></body></html>")

el = doc('a:Contains("Next")')
el.text()         # 'Next page'
el.attr['href']   # 'https://stackoverflow.com'
