Find current link and apply CSS

Find current link and apply CSS

I have list of links inside a DIV. I am trying to apply CSS to the current page link but it does not work. My code is as follows.
 
  var url = document.location.toString();
  var chunks = url.split('/');
  var newUrl = chunks.slice(0,chunks.length -2).join('/');


  $('div.maacmenu-toplinks a[href*=newUrl]').addClass('activeClass');
