[SOLVED] I don't know how to add one class or another depending on the url once I have it?

Is there a JavaScript method that will allow me to give the body a certain css class depending on which html page the user is on?

This is what I have right now and my page is just reloading

var $webPage = "http://localhost/collin-sanderson/";

    if (location.href = $webPage) {
        $('body').addClass('home')
    }
    else {
        $('body').removeClass('home')
    }
