# Page.type() method
Sends a `keydown`, `keypress/input`, and `keyup` event for each character in the text.
To press a special key, like `Control` or `ArrowDown`, use [Keyboard.press()](./puppeteer.keyboard.press.md).
**Signature:**
```typescript
class Page {
type(
selector: string,
text: string,
options?: {
delay: number;
}
): Promise<void>;
}
```
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --------- | ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| selector | string | A [selector](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Selectors) of an element to type into. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be used. |
| text | string | A text to type into a focused element. |
| options | { delay: number; } | <i>(Optional)</i> have property <code>delay</code> which is the Time to wait between key presses in milliseconds. Defaults to <code>0</code>. |

## Remarks
## Example
```ts
await page.type('#mytextarea', 'Hello');
// Types instantly
await page.type('#mytextarea', 'World', {delay: 100});
// Types slower, like a user
```
