Your code is not ok.Here:

C#

$("#mydiv a").each(function (index) {
                    if (lnk.indexOf($(this).html().trim().toLowerCase().replace(" ", "-")) != -1) {
                        $(this).parent().addClass('active');
                    }
                });

$(this).html() will return

<span class="w-nav-title">Word from the Chairman</span>

But you need to check if the url from

window.location.href

exists in any hyperlink href value, right? In that case you can use

$(this).attr('href')

instead of

$(this).html()

for the comparison, because $(this).attr('href') will return the url used in the a tag.
