I am trying using JavaScript but not getting successfully. can some help me how to do it correctly using JavaScript or jQuery.
You have forward slash with pathname, so you have to remove it.
<script>
var pathname = window.location.pathname;
var pathname = pathname.substring(pathname.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
$('.collapsible > li > a[href="'+pathname+'"]').parent().addClass('active');
</script>
