# ElementHandle.waitForSelector() method
Wait for an element matching the given selector to appear in the current element.
2022-07-05 13:41:43 +00:00
Unlike [Frame.waitForSelector()](./puppeteer.frame.waitforselector.md), this method does not work across navigations or if the element is detached from DOM.
