Hi.

So, i have a simple straightforward setup which looks like this(bare bone).

```nohighlight
<a data-turbo-action="advance" href="a url"></a>

```

When advancing, the page url changes successfully. However, i noticed that the page title does not change. Is that an expected behaviour of Frames?.

Thanks.

Upon receiving the response, Turbo Drive replaces the whole `<body>` element and merges the contents of the `<head>` element. So it should use whatever title is present on the new response. Whether it changes or not depends if you are sending the same title in your response from the back-end.

If you reload the page after clicking the link, do you see your new title?

Also, the default visit action is `advance` ([source](https://turbo.hotwired.dev/handbook/drive#application-visits)), so you don’t have to specify it using the `data-turbo-action` attribute.

I hope that helps.

Actually, i am sending it. Here is a snippet of the response

Weird thing, i just checked the response, and it seems the `content_for` cals are empty!

Is that the default behaviour for frames?. Sorry, i’m not that versed with Frames.

```ruby
<% content_for :title, t('page_title.capture.qr_codes.new', business_name: @business.name) %>

<% content_for :meta do %>
  <meta name="turbo-cache-control" content="no-preview">
<% end %>

```

I’m having the same trouble 😢 Really wish this was possible. Here’s [another example](https://discuss.hotwired.dev/t/how-do-you-update-a-pages-title-meta-description-open-graph-and-other-head-tags-when-using-turbo-frames-with-advance/4857/3)
