Do you want to add a cool feature to your website where the title of the page changes when a user tries to exit the page? In this tutorial, we will show you a simple and fun way to achieve this using JavaScript.

Step 1: Create an HTML file
First, create a new HTML file and add the following code to create a basic webpage structure:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Change Title on Exit</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to my website!</h1>
<p>Don't leave just yet...</p>
</body>
</html>

Save this file as index.html in your project directory.

Step 2: Add JavaScript code
Next, add the following JavaScript code just before the closing tag in your HTML file to change the title of the page when the user tries to exit the page:

<script>
  window.onbeforeunload = function() {
    document.title = "Come back soon!";
  }
</script>

This code sets an event listener that triggers when the user tries to leave the page. When this event occurs, it changes the title of the page to "Come back soon!".

Step 3: Test the functionality
Now, open the index.html file in your browser and try to close the tab or navigate away from the page. You should see the title of the page change to "Come back soon!" before you actually leave the page.

Step 4: Additional customization
You can further customize this feature by changing the title to something more engaging or adding other JavaScript functions to trigger other actions when the user tries to exit the page.

For example, you can add a popup message asking the user to stay or redirect them to another page. Here’s an example of how you can modify the JavaScript code to display a confirmation message:

<script>
  window.onbeforeunload = function() {
    return 'Are you sure you want to leave?';
  }
</script>

This code will display a confirmation message to the user when they try to exit the page.

And there you have it! With just a few lines of JavaScript code, you can add a fun and engaging feature to your website that changes the title of the page when the user tries to exit. Experiment with different messages and actions to make this feature unique to your website.
