jquery-selectors

Hello there,

I'm working with a page that has several links that contain the same href text, and I need to select the second anchor element on the page that contains said href text. Here's a simplified version of the link structure of the page:

<a href="same/link/to/stuff/">same link</a>
<a href="same/link/to/stuff/">same link</a>

How do I fashion my selector so that it only selects the second anchor in the above example?

Currently I'm trying:

$('a[href=same/link/to/stuff/] :eq(1)')

but it is not working.

Thanks!!
