Azadeh - 2013-03-12

I'm beginner and I have problem with nextXPath. The site use this html code for next page there is a div tag after "a" tag.

a href="?search_placeid=nE22HW2eAJQaf7o-&type=Events&page=2">div class="pagenumber prevnext">Next »div>/a>

It use the same class "pagenumber prevnext" for next and previous button. I don't know how I can set the nextXPath

  the answer is:
  (//a[contains(@href,'page=')])[last()]/@href

I tried the following nextXPath but it didn't work.
//a[div[contains(.,'Next') and @class="pagenumber prevnext"]]/@href

//a[starts-with(., 'Next')]/@href
