Question

I would like to have an animation effect which starts when people leave a page.

I use this currently:

Jorrebor, If your trying to have this animation fire when they leave your site or close the browser it will not work as intended. However, you can create this animation while the user travels within your site by removing the 'href' property of your links and creating animations that have a callback function that set the window.location property. Something like:

document.getElementById('home').onclick(function(){
     yourAnimationFunction(function(){
          window.location="example.com";
     });  
});

alot of work and wont be seo friendly however
