# ElementHandle.click() method

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

#### Signature:

```typescript
class ElementHandle {
  click(
    this: ElementHandle<Element>,
    options?: Readonly<ClickOptions>
  ): Promise<void>;
}
```
