Signature: ```typescript evaluateHandle(pageFunction: Function | string, ...args: unknown[]): Promise; ``` ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | pageFunction | Function \| string | | | args | unknown\[\] | | Returns: Promise<[JSHandle](./puppeteer.jshandle.md)> ## Remarks The only difference between `jsHandle.evaluate` and `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` is that `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` returns an in-page object (JSHandle). If the function passed to `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` returns a Promise, then `evaluateHandle.evaluateHandle` waits for the promise to resolve and returns its value. See [Page.evaluateHandle()](./puppeteer.page.evaluatehandle.md) for more details.
