# ElementHandle.tap() method

This method scrolls element into view if needed, and then uses [Touchscreen.tap()](./puppeteer.touchscreen.tap.md) to tap in the center of the element. If the element is detached from DOM, the method throws an error.

#### Signature:

class ElementHandle {
  tap(this: ElementHandle<Element>): Promise<void>;
