How to get url of a SharePoint page opened as a form in the page

Question

So I have a SharePoint 2010 site where I have different links on the home page of the site. These links are nothing but aspx pages built in my layout folder.

For ex: My root site page is something like this : http://abcde/sites/xyz/Sitepages/Test.aspx

And on clicking, one of the link on the page, pops up a form. Further, right click over the form and selecting property I get one property as Address which has url as something :

http://abcde/sites/xyz/_layouts/project/Workflow/qwerty/1234.aspx

and this is the URL I am looking for.

For some reason I need to do some css changes in few pages and for that I am looking to add Jquery as to check the form url loaded and then do the appropiate change. I cannot make changes in css class directly as the class is getting referred in other pages too.

Using Window.location.href or SpPageContext_Info returns the rooturl i.e. http://abcde/sites/xyz/Sitepages/Test.aspx

Can anyone suggest me how should I fix this or is there any other approach?

Note:I cannot use a Content Editor Webpart on this aspx pages

Thank You!!

Yes what you need to do is open the server side file under program files\common files\web server extensions\12 (or version number) \ then under layouts you will see some ascx files. You may have to do a search. But those are sometimes used in many underlying _layouts aspx pages. You have dig in and see which relate to you.

Looks like you are /project/workflow add-on or something so it may be custom. Try even looking in that folder path as well.

Once you identify the ascx page you can edit it and add a custom css there using ...

Hope that gives you a general direction.
